10. Mass-uh-chew-sets. My dad grew up on the East Coast though, so I may not be the most representative answer for my state’s accent. I’ve already found a couple other locations from that area that I say differently from everyone else here because I grew up hearing my dad say them the way they’re said by the people who live there.
