We just call it wooster

Now try the Welsh name for it: Swydd Gaerwrangon.
It’s pronounced “Worcestershire”.
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.
Woo shir shir shir sauce
I just saw a sign this morning that said “Irish Wristwatch - now you know you can’t pronounce it”. The sign was right.
Worcestershire? I don’t even know her
There’s a British surname, Featherstonhaugh. Many of the people with it pronounce it “Fanshaw.”
Wooster-shire
I hear “Were-Chest-Sure” around here.
Depends on how you pronounce shire. Americans tend to pronounce it like the hobbit place when it’s more like “shuh”.
I’m from New Jersey and I pronounce it Wuh-stah-shur. I think that’s reasonably correct?
I second this pronunciation.
I do Woor-cest-er-sure.
Also northeast US but a lot less pin downable. I think of it like a slurred “war-chest” sound. But the “C” seems unused by most.
I dk where you Americans are getting the “sure” part from, it’s much more like “she-er” or if your more northern it’d be a bit more like “sher”.
Wait, Tolkien was English. He didn’t mean “Shire” to be pronounced like we Americans do it?
He did
As a standalone word it’s Shire as we say it, but put it at the end of a word and you pronounce it differently

Wooster shire
Wor-chess-ter-shy-'r.
I like your style.
The “worce” part is pronounced like “worse”, so worse-ter-shy’r.
Isn’t it not more sha than shy’r?
Yep, but they were spelling it phonetically and I just wanted to point out that their syllables are wrong. I think once you realize “worce” is one syllable, the pronunciation makes a lot more sense.
No thanks! I pronounce it exactly as it is spelled
Does webtoon pay comic artists now? Or is that watermark there for no reason
