names of English cities that are pronounced in a funny way:
Gloucester ("Gloster")

The Scots are notorius for such shibboleths- try asking for directions to Kirkcaldy, Culross or Milngavie at Glasgow Central Station- you'll need to pronounce them Kur-kaw-day, Koo-russ, Mull-gai and Glezzga Centrull to sound anything like a local.

Thanks, Mike. I have been having fun exploring this site. May even start a "thread" (if that's the right term). You will remember our conversation regarding the topic. Hope you have a good flight and enjoy touring New York.
