I have a friend from Massachusetts who always laughs at my pronunciation! I only know one other person who pronounces it the way I do, and she's also from Pennsylvania (but from Gettysburg; I'm from West Chester). I say "war-ter". I've never been able to determine how I learned to pronounce it that way! Could it be a British pronunciation (Mom was British, so perhaps I learned it from her)? I say it like the word "war", not "waaahhh-ter".
I believe the Philadelphia pronunciation is different; I do have an otherwise Philly accent, except for the w-word!
How do you say water?
