Reply to comment by No-Tomorrow1576 in Spotted in Greece. So much to unpack here. by thecabinpresident

Dropping the T seems quite natural, the name rolls of the tongue better without it. Interesting!

Also you don't pronounce the T in Vert Mont. So by default it sounds like Very Mont, or Vermont.

Well French speakers don’t ofc, but obviously English colonists using the name did pronounce the T, or they wouldn’t have reason to drop it. I would think anyway.
