Schuylkill

[Matthew P Wiener]

>>The Schuylkill is also the local name for I-76, running along the banks
>>of the river. As I discovered when I moved to Delaware, it's pronounced
>>"SKOO-gull" (at least around here).

>In the crowd I hang with when I go to watch the Mummers march, it (the
>road, not the river) is pronounced "sure-KILL"

For what it's worth, I pronounce it SKEW-kill.  The first syllable is like
the English word "skew", but the `w' slips in a bit.
