Please. When you put the R back in Worcestershire, then MAYBE we'll negotiate you about your silly pronunciation of aluminum.
Hey, I live near a city called Worcester which locally pronounced is Woostah.

Burnistoun, two Scots and a voice recognition elevator. Channel 5 started blocking youtubes of that back home.
Meanwhile, they block half of the UK's shows from being shown here by any means.
That grinds my gears. Let us just watch and share clips, sheesh.

The way north americans pronounce "alluminium" doesnt annoy me or anything but it is pretty stupid lol
Theres TWO "i"s in it
Not here - only one I. Same with jewelry, only one L.
My English son-in-law said aluminium and my American daughter cracked up.
Isn't Leicestershire pronounced Lester?
One of the funniest stumbles I heard was a Colorado DJ trying to deal with Mamaronek.

lol Burnistoun was funny
I think Lester and Worcester (wooster) are citys or big towns and the county theyre in is called Lestershire/Worcestershire.
I live in Paisley but the area is called Renfrewshire (renfrew is a town next to paisley.. Glasgow airport is in Paisley).. confused? Lol

In short no.
Leicestershire is pronounced Leicestershire and is a county, of which Leicester is the principle city within, pronounced as you say, similar "to Lester" but spelt Leicester.
The same can be said for multiple UK cities, Worcestershire, Worcester, Gloucestershire, Gloucester.
It's hilarious listening to Americans try to pronounce these, as it often sounds as "Wor-ces-ster(-shire) when it should sound more as Wuster is written. :thumb:

So "American" is what?
English ripped off by some big American fruit company and passed off as it's own invention?
Generalize much? :rofl:
American is simply the preservation of the pronunciation and idioms of the 18th century English.
Sorry we're so old school, it's just our nature. Perhaps one day we'll get the new English out of the trunk of the car, dust it off and try it out.

Actually, that arrogant American Noah Webster defined American spelling, intentionally changing the spellings to be different than common British convention.
Just to be different (Americans didn't like the English much back then)...
nevermind.
Go Worcester! The snow capital of eastern Massachusetts.I guess I shouldn't even try to explain how to pronounce Copley as in Copley Square.Hey, I live near a city called Worcester which locally pronounced is Woostah.
Now what I really don't get is how and why folks from New York City pronounce Houston when referring to that street in Manhattan. They Say House-ton. Seriously House-ton? I wonder if they do that when they're talking about the city in Texas?
Us Bostonian would have trouble with that elevator as well. Ah-Leven sounds perfectly natural to me. How else would you pronounce it, EEH-Leven? Who talks like that?

It's snowing with a constant 15-25mph north wind. Wait until this batch of nastiness goes east. They've had enough!

What if every spider I've ever crushed thought it was living in my house with me the whole time and one day I just flew off the handle and murdered it? Like it just thought we were hanging out together...

Stupid user error.. Wake up early on a Monday morning, just to play Skyrim, after spending an hour and a half last night installing a new water cooler on my gaming pc.. And it won't turn on.
User error = not plugging in the water pump. Fans work, but pump was not plugged it. :banghead:
