I genuinely don't understand why that's so hard for Americans so say.
In revenge we invented Arkansas.
I love how Americans pronounce "Arkansas River" depending on whether they're in Arkansas or Kansas.

I've heard illi noise so many times I've given up on correcting it.
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.
I've been saying Worcestershire this whole time.
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.
