Americans like over pronouncing shire for all English counties until they remember New Hampshire exists.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

It's not the shire that worries me, it's where the fuck the rces in Worcester is going...

[-] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

It's worce-ster-shire. And the "worce" is pronounced "worse".

[-] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

OK, but what if I pronounce it better?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago
[-] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

Don't forget the shire.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

I genuinely don't understand why that's so hard for Americans so say.

It's not a common word for us and the phonetics don't match the pronunciation whatsoever.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

if it's spelled worchestershire, I'm gonna pronounce it worchestershire.

Depends on how you pronounce shire. Americans tend to pronounce it like the hobbit place when it's more like "shuh".

[-] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

I'm from New Jersey and I pronounce it Wuh-stah-shur. I think that's reasonably correct?

My buddy has been watching too many redneck cooking videos and calls it "warsh-yer-sister" sauce.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

I just saw a sign this morning that said "Irish Wristwatch - now you know you can't pronounce it". The sign was right.

There's a British surname, Featherstonhaugh. Many of the people with it pronounce it "Fanshaw."
