Talk:Warwick, Rhode Island

message: Shouldn't NEIT which is in Warwick be noted somewhere?
This is the first time I've heard any mention of the Department of Homeland Security getting involved in the Station fire.  The deaths of 96 people would have been sufficient to make news without any DoHS involvement.  -- Zoe

===Pronunciation===
In Warwick, England, the second 'w' is not pronounced. Do people in RI and nearby use the same pronunciation?

Haha, to answer your question, 148.87.1.170, many people do. However, this is due to our Rhode Island accents, and is not the official pronunciation of the city's name.

message: Warwick is named after the English city of the same name and was pronounced the same originally in Rhode Island but overtime people started there pronouncing it incorrectly.
It was originally pronounced Worick (as they do in England) but now people in Rhode Island pronounce it war-wick.

replies: text: Warwick was named in honor of the Earl of Warwick who enabled Samuel Gorton to obtain a charter. And native Rhode Islanders pronounce it "warrik".  —Dilidor (talk) 13:20, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
