Hamilton gets mispronounced sometimes. I remember when Michael Landsberg was still with TSN he would often pronounce it something like "Hamil-nn" but I've heard others do that too, and it just sounds weird.
The "ton" tends to get spoken fast so it doesn't sound like the measure of weight, but the "t" is not dropped by most people.

As someone who moved to Hamilton, this always struck me as coming from older native Hamiltonians.
