two random thoughts, which DO both have to do with morphology but are really just ordinary thoughts

1.  if Williamstown were in England, it would very likely be pronounced something like "Wemston".

2.  a place -- a list, a community, a fandom, whatever -- that seems (against its will or not) to foster more than its share of wank could, i think you'll agree, accurately be called a "wankubator".

hee! i like "wankubator". we need a word for that, after all.

as for wemston, i'm with sheltie and the boston accent -- you pro'ly don't need all of those sounds in the middle of the word, do you? :)
