No, it is pronounced "tonic". No one not native to the area should
ever
try to mimic an eastern MA accent. They only succed in making
embarrassing spectacles of themselves.


My mother was a Bostonian, and most of my close relatives were born
on
and
lived on the North Shore. The word is pronounced "tawnick."

How else could one possibly pronounce tonic, other than "tawnick"?

You could always tell somebody wasn't from Eastern Mass when they
would want directions to Pea Body rather than Peabudy.

Sort of like Wooster?

We have a Wooster down here in Maryland. It is the name of the county that
is on the Atlantic ocean. We also have a Dooster county.


IIRC from my Fort Devins days, there is a town in Mass. named Worcester,
pronounced 'wooster'.

What I was refering to. Was asking a cop for directions in the next town,
and he said go on road to Wooster. And I can not find a Wooster on the map,
but figured out he meant Worchester.

Figured that out all by yourself, did you? *I* knew that from the age of

We from the west can actually properly pronounce a name as it is spelled.

With my previous job I traveled to Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maine
quite often. Scallops were "scawlups", Worchester was indeed "Wooster".
Eh?

The folks in New England indeed have their own dialect, and you don't have
to be from the West Coast to understand that.

As usual, Krause is wrong.

Sheesh, you'd probably pronounced Haverhill Haverhill. Rubes usually do.



Never heard of a place called Haverhill.

There *is* a place up here called "Hey-vrill" however.

I remain in Krause's head, even while he is on vacation in paradise.

How wonderful.

All right Mr. Pseudo Skipper...
When hostility broke out between you and Harry a couple of years ago,
another poster and myself offered our services as referee and
scorekeeper, as you and harry battled 'toe to toe' with digs and insults
directed at each other.
Do you remember the final score before we called it a 'no contest' and
in who's favour?

Don,
I don't remember the "game", but my guess is Harry won. Over the years no
one has been as insulting as he is. I would guess he would win hands down,
and it would be declared "no contest".

It is refreshing to see you admit that Harry is the person who sent
rec.boats down the crapper flame fest, many years ago.

Worcester is spelled correctly. It was named after a town, later a city,
with the same name in England. The city in England is rather famous.
Worcestershire sauce originated in the same area. Did you grow up
mispronouncing the name of the sauce?

There are lots of words that are pronounced differently from what their
spelling might indicate at first glance. The way you find out is by being
an avid reader.

You obviously were not.



Avid reader, and just because a Cockney pronounces it that way, does not
mean it is correct.

A Cockney? The East End of London is a long way from Worcester.
You're not an avid reader, and likely never were.



And you still can not comprehend what you read.
