One of my favorites is Worcestershire (as in the sauce). The correct
pronounciation is, at least here, "Wurst-eh-shure". However, at least one of my
kids when very young pronounced it "Wur-chesta-shyster"! I love the way kids
tackle long words!!!!!

OK I think that one's been done to death.
We have some good ones in England: Bicester ("Biss-ter") and
Wymondham ("Win-dum") to name but a couple. However, our friends in the land
of leeks and daffodils have some rather better ones. Those who remember the
late Denny GW3CDP will no doubt be familiar with the dialect.
Try some of these......

"Without any written accent mark, I would pronounce it;
De Se Che O
All E's are pronounced like the first e in every
All O's are pronounced like the o in the word Or
Words without a written accent mark that end in a vowel or N or S are
stressed on the next to last syllable.
Words ending in a consonant except N or S are stressed on the last
syllable.
It's a pretty logical language."
I reconfirmed this pronounciation with her.
