       Notes on an overheard conversation of two people opening a package
                                        
“Oh, it's a mug from Sunny Farms, in Sequim, Washington.” 

“It's pronounced ‘skwim.’” 

“Pardon?” 

“It's pronounced ‘skwim.’” 

“So, you're saying the ‘E’ is silent?” 

“Yes.” 

“…” 

“It's Washington! What can I say?”
