To be fair, I don't know how to pronounce Tsawwassen. "tsaww-WAWW-sen" is probably what I'd try.

YTsawwassenMV, but I grew up hearing (and of course saying) it as t'WAHS-sen. It's where they keep the ferries to Vancouver Island, so it was a frequent destination, what with the random assortment of friends and family on the island.

I didn't really notice the spelling and actually think about it until about five years ago, but dropping the first S seems to be slightly more common than dropping the T or pronouncing both.

The side effect of actually being aware of the word is that now all ways of saying it sound wrong.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Isn't that (more or less) "chap-a-tooliss"?

The first time I ate at Commanders Palace, I asked the waiter what I was eating (it was a corporate dinner), and I thought he had some sort of weird impediment, because it sounded like he kept saying "veal chop chop au Tulis", or something. It was actually veal chop Tchoupatoulis.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And of course, Staunton (VA) and Taunton (MA) do NOT rhyme.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Anyone get into arguements over "orange"? Some people I know pronounce it "OR-ange" and others say "ARE-ange".

What gets dropped from waistcoat? I've never heard it shortened. Perhaps it's an American thing?

What do you drop from clapboard?

You drop the P and sort of squish the board part: clab-bird.
