Oh, it's definitely an affectation. I said "Cambridge," but what I
really meant was Harvard. I doubt you would hear it at MIT.


Well I work at the Harvard/Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge
and we work wiht MIT all the time. The only time I've heard words such as

Never heard a native New Englander use such terms.
