it drives me insane that the pronunciation of this town changes in neighboring states.

1/22/2012 12:23:59 PM

Bo-furt

1/22/2012 12:24:42 PM

When I talk to people from Beaufort, SC on the phone at work I purposefully pronounce it the right way just to bug them...

1/22/2012 12:25:17 PM

I'll vote for Beaufort. I've been going to Atlantic Beach for vacations regularly since I was a kid and we always walked through the shops/waterfront at Beaufort whenever we went there.

1/22/2012 12:30:59 PM

No.
I don't want more non-Carolinian's visiting than there already are.

Exuberant boats, the courthouse, and a fudge factory.


What more could you ask for.

1/22/2012 12:32:30 PM

^ And the general store with lots of candy and overpriced touristy crap.

And that outdoorsy store in the same building as the fudge factory.

I met my husband in Beaufort

1/22/2012 12:35:41 PM

Beaufort is a shit hole. I can say it. I grew up there.

You're probably bugging them just by calling them in the first place.

Is there anywhere else that pronounces it "Bo-furt"? Sounds like a redneck succeeded in mangling the pronunciation for all of posterity.

1/22/2012 12:50:12 PM

i looked at the listing...and based on the reviews, none of them seem to be anywhere near as nice as beaufort except for cape may, nj...maybe i'm just a sucker for the coast

1/22/2012 1:00:10 PM

Beaufort waterfront? Yes.

Beaufort in general? Ehhhhhhh.......

Beaumont.
Beauregard.
Beaufort Scale.
Beau.

pretty much EVERY use of that root is pronounced "Bo", with the notable exception of "beauty".

bttt

We're in 1st place, but by only 0.5% or so over some New York shithole

1/24/2012 11:03:48 PM

I used to live in Beaufort, SC and like it quite a bit.

1/24/2012 11:22:56 PM

^^^in my defense, I wasn't asking for other words or places with "beau" in the spelling that was pronounced "bo". I was particularly wondering if there were more towns named Beaufort and how they were pronounced, without having to Google it myself.

[Edited on January 24, 2012 at 11:27 PM. Reason : ^so does that mean you know how to properly pronounce "Coosawhatchie"?]

1/24/2012 11:25:39 PM

we've fallen behind again!

1/27/2012 7:52:47 AM

So we tied.

2/1/2012 11:45:34 PM

Beaufort technically won by .2%

Fuck, ugh, Nicholas Sparks was on the Beaufort side. I instantly regret my votes.

2/2/2012 1:07:39 AM

There is apparently an uproar happening over beaufort not winning

2/4/2012 12:07:49 AM

beaufort sux anyway
