What's-this-here sauce

I genuinely don't understand why that's so hard for Americans so say.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

It's not a common word for us and the phonetics don't match the pronunciation whatsoever.

if it's spelled worchestershire, I'm gonna pronounce it worchestershire.

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.

Meanwhile in Australia: West-eh-share.

As an Australian I've only ever said Woos-ta-sheer
