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.

The "worce" part is pronounced like "worse", so worse-ter-shy'r.

Something like Woostuhshuh, apparently, for some reason. 🤨

Americans like over pronouncing shire for all English counties until they remember New Hampshire exists.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's not the shire that worries me, it's where the fuck the rces in Worcester is going...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

It's worce-ster-shire. And the "worce" is pronounced "worse".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

English [Simplified]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

I've been saying Worcestershire this whole time.
