I grew up near Baltimore. Was in York, PA, giving a speech recently. Created a new slide. Had the word “water” in it. How did I spell it? No kidding: WARTER. That’s the way we Baltimoreans say it. (T.God for spell check, which saved me from mortification. Though I admitted my sin to the audience, and the Yorkies got a short case of hysterics. Me, too.)
