Maybe I should volunteer to be their dialect coach?
I haven't watched the episode yet, but please do. Every time they say a name of a Massachusetts town I have to cringe.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure they said METHoo-en.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
How should it be pronounced?

They did. I was behind when I posted before. I heard it, it was Hardison, and it was appalling.

As long as they don't have NATE mispronouncing Massachusetts area names. He's supposed to be from there. Everyone else, I give a pass.

Mostly I agree with this, but there was one scene last year where Eliot was pretending to be local and he pronounced a town name so badly to a mark. All I could think was that the con would be over right there because the mark should have been saying "WTH?"
