Just listened to the email show and heard Kevin read Pam from Peabody, MA's email.
Hi, Pam!! I'm from Peabody too!
Bob - I can't believe you missed your chance to correct someone's pronunciation (perhaps for the first time???)!!!
Kevin pronounced it Pea-body, which is, of course, how 99% of the world pronouces it. But in Massachusetts, that's wrong. Peabody is one of those strange Massachusetts towns (like Worcester, Gloucester, Leominster, Haverhill, the list goes on and on and on) that has a pronunciation only a Bostonian could love. Knowing how to say the names of those towns is even on those perennial lists - "You know you're from Massachusetts if..." (My other favorite from that list - because it is 100% true - "You cannot give directions without using at least one Dunkin Donuts as a landmark.")
I'll let those of you who don't know guess what the correct pronunciation is.
