I’m picking “Colonel” needs to be respelled to match how it’s pronounced.

Try to pick a word no one else has picked. What word are you respelling?

      I pronounce it wor-chst-sher sauce. As does my friends who aren’t from London but from other parts of the UK

      My London boi says Woust-er sauce.

      How do you get Wor-chest-er-sher to become Woust-er? How?

      I understand Wor-chst-sher you just remove some vowels in the middle.

      But Wouster? You just removed the whole fucking word?? Why???

        Idk about woust-er sauce, pretty sure that’s just dropping a syllable.

        But the rest of it is because the syllables are supposed to be worce-ster-shire.

        Brits do stuff like that. For example, the city Gloucester is pronounced “Gloss-ter”
