If Saco, ME is Sock-oh -- Then why is Waco, TX said 'Way-ko'?
Here's something ... why is Houston (TX) pronounced Hyooston? Here in Georgia, Houston County is pronounced House-ton. House ... like mouse, house, louse, pouch, grouch, couch, etc. When I first moved here in the late 80's, I thought it was strange. Now I think Hyooston is strange.
Me too!I've known the correct pronunciation is "sock-o" for years, but I've never been able to break the habit of pronouncing it "say-ko".
Worchester MA is "Wuster" MA
