[edit] Pronounced ...
Why was this removed?
- Given the regional accent, residents of Medford and surrounding communities commonly pronounce the town's name as Medfid" or "Meffa".
I don't know why they do it, but lots of people use this pronunciation. When it was removed, someone said no one says it. That person was incorrect.

[edit] Disagree
People in surrounding cities use the "Meffa" to mock us, but I and all the Medford residents I've asked about this agree: no one within the city actually pronounces it that way.
Everyone in this discussion agrees: "Mehfuh", Boston Online. 129.10.211.72 22:11, 13 February 2007 (UTC), Medford resident since 1988
