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."

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?

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 3 hours ago

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 second this pronunciation.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Wait, Tolkien was English. He didn't mean "Shire" to be pronounced like we Americans do it?

There's little visible name of the comic near it.

Major Robert Thornbird: Our cameras saw some sort of weapon.

Jack O'Neill: Oh, well it's hard to say.

Major Robert Thornbird: Some sort of state secret?

Jack O'Neill: No. Just difficult to pronounce.
