Reply to "Mispronunciations"

Gary, I pronounce Worcester "WOO-ster" like boogie.  Andre, I have always said "WASH-i-ta".  Are those correct?

Railroaders on the D&RGW used a long I in Rio Grande: RY-oh-Grand.  Never pronounce the silent e in Grande.  Here are a few other local pronunciations for railroad locations:

Dalies, NM  =  Dal-EEZ     Waynoka, OK  =  Wye-NO-kuh or One-OH-kuh       Gallup, NM  =  Gallop (like a horse's gait)
