"I just saw a sign for LEE-O-minster." -- Ah, that particularly Massachusetan disconnect, between the spelling of our place names and their pronunciation...behold a Bostonist rant on same. I grasped Worcester (that's "Wuss-tah!") right off, but come on, who came up with "Billa-RICKAH" for poor Billerica? Thankfully I now live in one of the many Arlingtons in the USA, that's an easy one.
