Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Of course, there's still a bunch of different pronunciations for Warwick - Wahwick, Wawwick, Wa'rk...
I was told that it was WAR-ick (from a tour guide at Warwick Castle, but that might just be a British thing).

Yabbut, Wawwick RI is in a state where the letter R is outlawed, in spite of being the only state that starts with it....
On the "clapboard" thing from a while back, I've heard it pronounced as both "clap-board" (from most people) and as "clabb'd" (in New England). I can't remember ever hearing "clabberd."
Yeah we hear that one here, as well. (I was talking about Warwick, RI, gwound zewo for the silent r.)
(As amych has already noted...)
Hil, in New England "clabbered" would tend to be pronounced "clabbid" anyway.
OOH! Like when I realized the mother in Little Women is actually called "Mommy."

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying that I've never heard anybody pronounce that r and not say "clap-board."
My from Warwick RI former roommate called it "Warrick."
As I noted, many, many, pronunciations.
Henry Higgins could have a field day at the Warwick Mall.
