How do you pronounce Tufts?

no seriously, most people say it like “Tuff-tz.” And really, I’m from New Jersey, we are FAMOUS for not putting T’s into words. Like, “can’t” and “don’t” lose their T’s, for example, lol.

I also just turned to my roommate, and was like, “Say ‘Tufts’.” She said it, and yes indeed she put a t after the f. When I say Tufts in the possessive, like “Tufts’ IR program”, I just say it as if I said “Tufts”. Perhaps I am wrong, lol
