    OK, let's fix a few pronunciations:
    Cambridge is Came - Bridge
    Amherst accent on the second syllable "herst"
    Falmouth - not "fall" as in the season but the" al "is pronounce like the mans name "Al"
    Northampton is not North-ampton it's North Hampton. Yes we add the missing "H"
    Worchester is Wuss-ster
    Salem is Sa-lem (Say - limb) not Sal - em
    would love to hear him pronounce Billerica, Leominster, Haverhill and Quincy just to name a few. (snicker snicker)

      @steveparker2938 Thank you for that. I'm not from Massachusetts, but like you, am a stickler for people getting pronunciation right. You'd think people would take the time to research that way they sound like they know what they're talking about. I notice in Nebraska, a city called Papillion, which is French for butterfly, they pronounce it " PAh- pillyon" instead of Pappy-yown.

But we love it here..have a beautiful piece of property & family close by. & we have the best grocery store ever-Publix. So idk if we should move even. But climate change is real & very much felt here. I’ve lived here 40 years, & in the 80s & early to mid 90s it was so much colder. The heat has become unbearable. It doesn’t even get cold for 3-4 weeks out of the year usually. We usually have hot 🥵 Xmas now, on top of hot Halloweens (yesterday sucked!), & hot thanksgiving’s. I’m over it. My husband is a funeral director/embalmer, & they do well up there. So we’re thinking about it.

      I recommend that you look in other states, perhaps in the north central US. The government in Massachusetts is authoritarian (meaning that they steal your money through excessive taxes and impose draconian rules on citizens and businesses to the point of driving both to leave the state). Everything is expensive here, and the political elites in Boston dump their high taxes and draconian rules on everyone in the poor western end of the state. DO NOT MOVE HERE. We are all trapped as tax slaves. Consider other states further west. @@seraphim_sounds

    Being a native, these are no way near the "best" places to live in MA, also they are the most expensive, and elitist, especially Boston, Cambridge, and anywhere on the Cape, also the traffic there really sucks, expect to spend 2+ hours a day on your commute of 30 miles total round trip. Yeah, it's that bad! Been there done that. There are 351 towns and cities in MA, most are small rural farming/fishing communities, Worcester and Boston are the worst places to live in the state, highest crime and rent areas. Obviously whoever made this video never lived in MA, The South Coast has the best of all the MA features, and none of the traffic and overpriced tourist trap crap, followed by the foothills of the Appalachians in western MA, north and west of Worcester. Those along the northern NH/VT border region as well as the borders of RI and CT. Stay away from the cities unless you are a city dweller and prefer that kind of lifestyle, then New Bedford or Plymouth would probably be best for you if you really want historical culture and amazing dining, art and music scenes without all the traffic and obscenely high rents and properties. Anywhere in MA you will enjoy good schools, and amazing landscapes, with lots of trees, water, hills, and winding cow path roads filled with historical buildings and smart ass people who don't really put up with BS. Real People who actually matter, and know their history, and their responsibility to be leaders. At least that has been my experience over 56 years here.

    After more than 45 years away from Mass. people still comment on my accent! But almost no one not from Mass.. can pronounce the town names properly. Try Scituate, or Leominster or Weymouth. Much of New England have town names that are hard to pronounce and some of us are very proud of that: we got to correct people who are "from away". OK a little bit passive/aggressive... As long as they can say "Lobstah, and Chowdah" they get a pass.

    One major benefit of living in the Peoples Republic of Taxachusetts is that they have highways that'll take you to anywhere else. You can get in your car, wait in the traffic jam for a few hours, and then hit gas and never look back. The other good things are the trash everywhere, the endless supply of parking tickets, the antisocial & angry population, and having the benefit of freezing your ass off for 9 out of 12 months a year. I highly recommend it.
