I've heard new york have trouble saying "r" so some say New Yok. And they say Houston as House ton. "Houston we've got a problem" Famous phrase and they mispronounce it. Nevada is another, Nevah da

What? Being born in Houston I've never heard anyone pronounce it in that way.

I swear I heard Bostonian say House Ton before when I was there for work. Or maybe I'm just on crack.

I was rather amused once when a rather ditzy out-of-stater pronounced Fuqua street as Fuck-You-A.

I never heard any Bostonian pronounce it that way. Only in Greenwich Village, NYC.

Peabody - pronounced pea-bud-ee
Westford - west-ferd
Acton - act-in
Worcester - wooster

Gloucester - glos-ster

And they say Houston as House ton.

In Manhattan, Houston Street, which demarcates SoHo from NoHo, is pronounced "house-ton," rather than "hyoo-ston." The street name aside, however, I've never in my life heard anyone from New York refer to the Texan city as "house-ton."
