It's fun to listen to some of the national news outlets or visitors to MA try to pronounce "Worcester" correctly. Up here, it's a two syllable word.

There are some town names all over the country that are pronounced a bit strange except for the locals. I'm guessing Worcester is pronounced worsh-ster. |
