Since it seems to be such a very touchy subject indeed among locals and—possibly more so—transplants who pretend to be locals, would anyone care to add both an IPA and “normal” pronunciation at the beginning of the article? I would but for two reasons: 1) I am not sure it if it is pronounced “Towson”
651:
It`s pronounced just like it`s written tow...rhymes with cow...son...as in male child or sun in the sky..trust me on this..I am local and I am old...a few years ago they started with the tooowwwwwwzzzzzzuuuuuunnnnnn pronounciation....sorta sounds like Tuscon Az but not really...it was strictly young
587:
some people pronounce the s as a z..supposedly that`s how the towson elite say it but it`s my hometown and I`ve never heard anyone from there pronounce it like that..maybe heard it twice in 50 years and it`s not exactly a small town anymore...really just a pretentious invention...that`s been my

Next time I'm in their office I'll ask someone. If anything, I think it's more likely they are using text from this page. Regardless, I cited the information to them, and they will likely be pleased to have another link to their page for search engine purposes.
407:
Just citing a massive cut'n'paste block of text doesn't make it okay. Without the writer's explicit written permission to include it, it's a copyright violation and
Knowledge (XXG) doesn't permit it. There's nothing about the content that is specific to

or “Towson” (you see where the confusion comes in?); 2) I have no clue how IPA works, but thought it should probably be there to conform with the rest of
Knowledge (XXG)’s pronunciation guides.

This transportation section on Towson seems excessive. It takes up more than half the page. I don't understand why we need a whole paragraphs dedicated to streets and their traffic patterns.

They have weird categories at the Census Bureau. Hispanics can be of any race, while people of multiple races sometimes aren't counted as either.--
