There's also a Newark, Delaware, but they pronounce it the way it's spelled, not "Nerk".
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Newark is pronounced the way it's spelled!
Just very quickly.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Newark NJ is NEW-erk. Newark DE is New-Ark. I've heard Newark NJ get slurred to something like NEW-uck or NEW-ick, but never Nerk.

Snerk.
Hil, I rode trains in and out of that station for years. Believe me, it's closer to Nerk than New-erk.
There's a reason it's sometimes called Down Neck.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
in Texas near where I grew up there was a Newark pronounced NEW-ARK.

Nerk sounds really weird to me -- I'm trying to think of all the ways that seem like a way I've heard, and all of them have the oo sound in there somewhere.

I tried googling Newark and Nerk to see what I got, and just about every reference to pronouncing it Nerk is for the one in Ohio.

Well, I grew up twenty miles from there and rode in and out of that station for years, Hil, and the way I heard it always had very little, if any, "oo" sound. Not that it really matters.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And then when I comprehended it, all I could think was, "weremonkey."
Don't make me snort at work. It's not professional.
Would it be okay, hivemind, to wear a denim skirt to work on casual Friday? Jeans are okay, and people wear t-shirts, which I would never do, and running shoes, which I also wouldn't.
Just had an all-IT meeting. Did the demographics. Over 50 people, 8 women. 4 black people, two women, two men. What a minority I am.
CIO used two pop culture slides in her presentation, including one Lost reference. One day I will slip in Princess Bride or Buffy or Batman. Or maybe I won't.
