Wooster Check Shire.

Wooster shire
Wor-chess-ter-shy-'r.
The “worce” part is pronounced like “worse”, so worse-ter-shy’r.
Isn’t it not more sha than shy’r?
I like your style.
No thanks! I pronounce it exactly as it is spelled
What’d you call me?
Something like Woostuhshuh, apparently, for some reason. 🤨
Americans like over pronouncing shire for all English counties until they remember New Hampshire exists.
It’s not the shire that worries me, it’s where the fuck the rces in Worcester is going…
It’s worce-ster-shire. And the “worce” is pronounced “worse”.
OK, but what if I pronounce it better?
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.
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’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.
War. Chester. Fight me.
Don’t forget the shire.
