"You have to give Iowar credit. They played tough today, but we were just a little bit better than them."

Despite having grown up in Southwest Pennsylvania and lived here nearly my entire life, I have never pronounced Washington with an r.

I am guilty of running East Liberty together and saying, "Easliberty," as one word and not enunciating the t.

Southern Philadelphia commonly known as South Philly is more colloquially known as "Soufiiy".
