Most people get these towns wrong:

Montvale should be pronounced "MONT vale", not "mawn-val-AY", as most say.

Edison is pronounced "ee-DEE-sone", not "ED-iss-sun"

Highland Park is pronounced "Hig-LOND Purk", not "HY-lind park"

Camden should be pronounced "cahm-DONN", not "KAMM-din".

Toms River is "TOOMSS rye-VAR", not "TOMS RI-vur"

Englishtown is "ENGERLAND-guhvnah-towne", not "ING-glish town"

And New Jersey is pronounced "Jer-ZEE", not "Noo JUR-zee"

YEAH!

Someone down in DC once said to me that he noticed that people in New Jersey put "Right." or "Right?" at the end of all their sentences.

I thought about it and said..."Right!"
