Has anyone asked an SPF how the PRR pronounced it? After all they are/were the Standard. ;)

No problems here, that's how I heard it, but then my Uncle  could speak three 
languages fluently, not including English. (And most of the  Polish I learned 
from him I needed to keep away from Mom or risk getting swatted  with "who 
taught you that..."--and of course he thought it was  funny).
 
So, we have the Erie way, box- pock, and then the rest of the  world for 
box-spoke.
What else could be clearer?
