Since the town is named after the man from Akron, we actually mispronounce the way it was supposed to have been pronounced. I guess the Appalachian twang changed the way it was pronounced here back in the day, and now few people even realize that we technically are saying it wrong.
wow, how is it supposed to be pronounced? i know i've always heard it pronounced like book-tul
book tul is how we say it.. I think Butch tel is how they pronounce it...
I think Akron pronounces it "Buck-tel"
