[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Warshington instead of washington[/quote] Uh oh. That's me. In my defense, I am local and did grow up here. Saying WASH-ington sounds off and very unnatural for me. [/quote] I grew up in Pittsburgh, near Washington, PA, and about 25% of the western PA natives call it Warshington, PA. Never understood why then and still don't now. So, PP, any idea where the invisible "r" came from? I'm curious how this ever got started.[/quote] I know a number of people from Western PA who say "warshing machine" and "run up a room" for "clean a room". :P Regional expressions are the only explanations I have received. :P[/quote]
