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?

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