I was born and brought up in Portland. Lived in Massachusetts for a while and now live in central Maine near Augusta. Worcester is pronounced like it is in the UK. Same with Portsmouth and Gloucester. Keep doing these videos. They are brilliant.
Hello from Long Island! I live in a town called Sound Beach, on the north shore of Suffolk County. Our beaches are rocky up here, as opposed to the sandier south shore of Long Island. I’ve lived here all my life, so thank you for shouting us out!!! ❤
I think you were trying to pronounce Schenectady and pronounced it shen-neck-taddy. It's more like SKUH-neck-tih-dee. And pretty much all the things you thought we wouldn't pronounce the way you do, we actually do (Monticello, Worcester, etc.) We're unpredictable like that. Some things we make unrecognizable and others we keep. Nothing called Berlin here is pronounced how you'd think.
You mentioned Lake George, in New York. That is by far the most beautiful place I've ever been to in my life. I'm from Taunton, Massachusetts, (which for some reason isn't really on these maps, despite being the 3rd largest city in Massachusetts) and I go to Lake George every year, and it is well worth the 6+ hour drive. I'd definitely recomend looking up some pictures of it.
Worcester, and most of the other towns in Massachusetts with British names, are actually pronounced the same as they would be in British English - but most people not from the area pronounce them how you might think an American would
@@WelshASMR82Maps Yeah, and most of them are pronounced like the original British names. Like I live in Taunton in Massachusetts, and there are many others also named after other English towns. We even did dumb things like name a town Manchester-by-the-Sea. For some reason we felt the need to specify that it's by the sea.
You pronounced Lancaster as they do in Pennsylvania. (Lyn cas ter) In California they pronounce it LAN caster. The two cities are so different from eachother, one an agricultural town know for nearby Amish communities of German decent. Lancaster, California is a forgotten desert town that lives in the shadows of Los Angeles on the other side of the mountains near Edward Air Force Base. The t wo are as different as the way their names are pronounced but yet maybe not so much if you look closer.

I’m from New Jersey and live in NYC - would be interested to see you do a map of Manhattan. Also Ship Bottom is a really nice beach town 😁
Great idea!

🤣😅 I can't complain. We butcher those places names, you guys actually say them correctly!

You should try Texas. You could make a real long video about us. We got a lot of towns. And roads.
Please do a map tracing of Denmark 😃
I'll try!
Marco?
