Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I’m probably still doing it with some word.

Worcestershire
And nearby Leominster
Lemon Stir
And Cirencester
Sern Stir?
It’s pronounced “siren sester”.
“-cester” is usually pronounced “stir”, I’d assume then “Sir In Stir” if I got the first part wrong
It’s English. The only rule is that actually in some cases the rules are different.
and Towcester (“toaster”)
Map Men have a few more examples

I believe it’s pronounced “wstr”
Close, that’s Worcester. Worcestershire is “wstrshr”!
Woosta! :)
Wuss-ter
Wuss-ter-sheer
The whole word is silent
sauce?
That one isn’t silent
Wash your sister sauce
There’s a Worcester in Massachusetts, local pronunciation rhymes with sister (which is in turn said like “sista”)
