calmar Pronounsthey/them The Fame Popster 485 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 It's said 'wooster-sure' ( (/ˈwʊstərʃər/). I'd also say 'rural' is a pretty difficult and ugly word too. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also say 'rural' is a pretty difficult and ugly word too. Yep. Always gets me as to why people think the c is pronounced ch. It's baffling. Twice. Worse. They're both pronounced like an s. The reason shire isn't pronounced shyer is because (I'm pretty sure) it predates the Great vowel Shift, where in this case what would be the silent e has no effect. Vowels were pronounced markedly different before the 1600s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormPulse Pronounshe/him Banned 550 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Wait until you get into French words. Museé is not pronounced moosay, the u in French is pronounced like ee (in English) but with your lips rounded. It's really hard to do. And then the s is pronounced like a z So Museé du Louvre is extremely difficult, because in addition to the two u's, you have the re, which is done as a slight hack in the back of your throat, like you're swallowing the r.

Blown Away ARTPOPster 1,514 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) I cackled Thank you for this! Also, I've noticed many English-speaking people from African descent have trouble saying escape correctly. They always say it 'exscape' and I wonder if there's some kind of explanation for it or if it's just me who doesn't hear it right.
