folk awareness of dialect variation

[Philip E. Cleary]

<And I'd say the real shibboleths are Quincy (/kwInzi/) and Faneuil
(/faenl/).  Nobody gets those right.>

QuinZy is definitely one. But isn't (/faenl/) more of a Yankee shibboleth,
than a Bostonian one? I pronounce it that way, but it's an acquired
pronunciation. I think that the more common pronunciation is fan-yoo-el.

And how about Scituate (Si-choo-it) as one?
