Don't forget Versailles, Pa = Ver-sayels.
There are tons of Versailles -- IL, KY, OH, probably more. The ones I know of are all Ver-sayles.
Every time I've heard one come up, the person quickly says "that's really how it's pronounced"--I've done it too.
Someone decided that that the "u" in Staunton, VA would be silent. So it rhymes with Manchin.
I grew up in GLOSS-ter County, NJ.
How is Gloucester pronounced elsewhere?
How *else* would one pronounce Gloucester, other than maybe "GLUHSS-ter?"
I didn't know if it had multiple pronunciations like it's linguistic cousin Worcester.
I watch a lot Food Network/Cooking Channel shows where the running joke is how people pronounce Worcestershire sauce.
