Massachusetts really isn't that hard a name to remember how to spell. It is
spelt just like it sounds just as many Native American names are (at least in
New England). Granted its a long name but not real difficult.

Well being from New England we just got stuck (I mean that in a kind way) with
a lot of British names for our cities and towns. So we blame them. I actually
like giving people directions to Worcester. Half the time people get lost
because they are looking for Wooster or Woosta or something else entirely.
Heck even I double take sometimes when I see Worcester on a sign.
