Location: Wooster, Ohio | This website is just amazing with all of the in depth knowledge of Ovation products and guitars in general. I confessed in an earlier post that I bought a used collectable "off brand", I had been looking for, for years. I tried a user group website for that brand. My questions have never be responded to after two days. You guys would have been all over them giving me insights. I hope Ovation appreciates what you guys have here. You make me want to sell my off-brand collectable and buy the 2005 Collectors. I think the new bowl would better match my middle age spare tire. But then I would have to come up with a little more money. Thanks for all the sharing.

You should sell the "off brand" and buy a 2005 Collectors. That new bowl is the future of Ovation and makes for a damned fine guitar. |

Welcome Steve.
Several of us are going to have to change our names. It's getting real confusing having 8 guys not called Steve on this site. |

Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | cruster, Worcester is in Massachusett but because the letter "R" is a vowel there they pronounce it "Woo-stah!" :D Us folks down south say "War-chester!" :rolleyes:
* * * *
[list]
Worcester
WOO-STAH This is the correct way to say it. This is the pronunciation used by most of the residents of the city and surrounding areas.
WIS-TAH This is the correct way to say it. This is the pronunciation used mostly by people north of the city.
WOO-STER This is the correct way to say it. This is the pronunciation used by people who have lived elsewhere and either now live in Worcester, or somewhere else.
WUSS-TAH This is the incorrect way to say it. is the pronunciation used by most of the residents of the city and surrounding areas when they're putting down the city.
WAR-CHEST-ER This is the incorrect way to say it. This is the pronunciation used by people from south of the Mason-Dixon line who have seen it in print. These are generally the people you hang up on when they call you, since they're telemarketers.
WAR-SES-TER This is the incorrect way to say it. This is the other popular mis-pronunciation I hear often, this one I understand a little better, it sort-of looks like it should be said this way.
WOOSTER This is the incorrect way to say it. This is how the name is spelled when someone outside of the region is trying to write down your address over the phone.

| As any of you who stayed awake in Geography will have learned, Worcester is in Worcestershire in the west of England close to the Welsh Borders. It is pronounced Wuster. This is not debatable. It is in Wustersheer. This is not debatable.
This is not the first time I've had to speak to you guys about your abuse of the English language so please try and get this one straight. There will be a test later.
To show this is a 2-way street, I have started saying Uh-darm-ass and Karman, even tho I just can't figure out why.
Regards

I would wager that it is because you are becoming more intelligent, just by hanging out with us :D . |

Location: Midland, MI | I had a job offer once for some place in Shropshire on Kent or Furgeson on Burgler or Chocolate on Toffee (no, wait, that'd be Heath...muuuahahahahahha) or something strange like that. Hadn't thought about that in many years...I wonder if I should've taken the position.

Is that any where near Ashtabula,OH, pronounced ash-STAB-you-la close to where I grew up in Conneaut, OH pronounced con-ee-YUUT on Lake Erie, pronounced, laak-REALLY-eearie by the teen crowd.
Wooster also is not far from Masillon home of the psychiatric hospital, where in the 50's us strange people were threatened with incarceration if we kept listening to Jerry Lee Lewis.
