I genuinely don't understand why that's so hard for Americans so say.
-
In revenge we invented Arkansas.
-
and Illinois.
I've heard illi noise so many times I've given up on correcting it.
-
I love how Americans pronounce "Arkansas River" depending on whether they're in Arkansas or Kansas.
-
-
It's not a common word for us and the phonetics don't match the pronunciation whatsoever.
-
if it's spelled worchestershire, I'm gonna pronounce it worchestershire.
-
I've been saying Worcestershire this whole time.
-
-
It's not hard at all. But due to the fact that stealing other people's words and aggressively mispronouncing them seems to be the official British pastime, I don't give a fuck how you pronounce it. I'll pronounce it how it's spelled, or any other way I damn well please.
There are more of us than there are of you. It's our language now, you're an anachronism.

I hear "Were-Chest-Sure" around here.

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

I just saw a sign this morning that said "Irish Wristwatch - now you know you can't pronounce it". The sign was right.
-
It's pronounced "Worcestershire".
-
Well the guy that invented it says it's "Worcestershire" so....

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

Vor keester sheer

Woo-stah-sure.

I'm from England and wouldn't pronounce it like this at all. The "woo" sounds like you're a ghost or something and the "sure" part is just outright wrong.
It's really hard express through text, but I'd say "wuss-ter-she-er" (the wuss part is pronounced the same way as if you're refering to a cowardly person), is much closer. Regional accents could make it different tho.
-
It gets ‘em in the right ballpark, at least, and away from confidently saying “Wore-sess-tur-shah-yer”, so I’m good with it.
