I basically live in Stoneham (I live right on the Stoneham/Wakefield line so I do technically live in Wakefield despite not being able to get to my house without going into Stoneham and having Stoneham Water and Power) and when I was little I literally thought that Stone-m and Stone-ham were two different places! I knew how to say Stoneham but when ever I saw it on a sign I would say “Stone-ham” until one day I drove by the “Welcome to Stoneham” sign and did not read it Stone-ham for some reason (and said it like I knew how it was said) and suddenly I had an epfinany and realized that Stone-m and Stone-ham were the same place and I still wonder to this day why I some how did not realize that sooner or think it was weird that two towns (supposedly) right next to each other sounded so similarly! (I was like Seven when I finally figured it out!) 😂

Townships are similarly designed to the New England town in that both are civil divisions of the larger county. Even though there are no county governments in all three southern New England states they still exist as geographic entities not political ones. Townships in New Jersey(outside the region of New England) are almost like cities because they are led by a mayor and a "Township Council".

I lived in Massachusetts (Worcester (Whoo stir)) since I knew how to talk. Boston slang is very simple. The "barrel" is a trash can because in Boston, the trash cans look like barrels. Most of it is inspired by Irish Englandish town names. In my opinion, all Spanish names are at least 10x harder to pronounce. I actually live in Shrewsbury (Shoes Berry) and If you stay here for a while, everything makes sense.
