Shouldn't NEIT which is in Warwick be noted somewhere?

This is the first time I've heard any mention of the Department of Homeland Security getting involved in the Station fire. The deaths of 96 people would have been sufficient to make news without any DoHS involvement. -- Zoe

For the upteenth time Warwick and West Warwick are not the same place:

In Warwick, England, the second 'w' is not pronounced. Do people in RI and nearby use the same pronunciation?

148.87.1.170

Haha, to answer your question, 148.87.1.170, many people do. However, this is due to our Rhode Island accents, and is not the official pronunciation of the city's name.

Isn't Nathaniel Greene's town Coventry since his family owns land here? ~~KB1KOI~~
