You can change the spelling of one word in the English language to match how they are pronounced. What word do you pick? (lemmy.world)

I'm picking "Colonel" needs to be respelled to match how it's pronounced.

Try to pick a word no one else has picked. What word are you respelling?

    I pronounce it wor-chst-sher sauce. As does my friends who aren't from London but from other parts of the UK

    My London boi says Woust-er sauce.

    How do you get Wor-chest-er-sher to become Woust-er? How?

    I understand Wor-chst-sher you just remove some vowels in the middle.

    But Wouster? You just removed the whole fucking word?? Why???
