POLL: How Do You Say Hopatcong?

How do you say Hopatcong?

University of Calgary Assistant Professor of Linguistics Darin Flynn was wondering just that. So he emailed Patch with a couple of questions Monday night.

From Flynn's email:

Hopatcong: do you say (1) huh-PAT-con or (2) huh-PAT-cong?

The difference? Do you pronounce the "G?"

Flynn also wanted to know how you identify yourself. Are you a Hopatcongian? A Hopatconger? A Hopatcongite?

Back to Flynn's email:

If (1), would you say:

Hopatcongian: huh-pat-CONE-ian, or HOE-pat-CONE-ian?
Hopatcongite:  huh-pat-CONE-ite, or HOE-pat-CONE-ite?
Hopatconger:  huh-pat-CON-er, or HOE-pat-CON-er?

If (2), would you say:

Hopatcongian: huh-pat-CONGian, or HOE-pat-CONGian?
Hopatcongite:  huh-pat-CONGite, or HOE-pat-CONGite?
Hopatconger:  huh-pat-CONGer, or HOE-pat-CONGer?

So, what do you think? Take our poll and tell us, in the comments, if you're a Hopatcongian, Hopatconger or a Hopatcongite.
