A small problem with today's word [gerrymander], the pronunciation given was wrong !
Many people think it has a 'soft' G initial consonant, Elbridge Gerry was from Marblehead MA and back when he was around he pronounced his name with a 'HARD' G !

this from an old New Englander and friend of one of old Eldrige's great great ??? Grandsons
