Interesting! Wonder if Rochester was settled by Vermonters. And more importantly, why would anyone pronounce Cahrlotte that way in the first place? |

No, I'm sorry but Boy-see hurts my ears. Just like the old-timers in Mass who pronounce Holyoke as "Hole-yoke" instead of "Holy-oak" or the Nashville pronunciation of "Lafayette." Sometimes the native pronunciation is just wrong. |
