  1. I still say it's pronounced wustashestashistashestashistashestashire.
    alternatively, I think wustashestashistashestashistashestashistashestashista..... is also correct.
    I never realized Worcester in Mass is pronounced the way the Brits would have pronounced it.
    Wusta.

    1. I just say, "Meh, give me some ketchup".

    2. Make it easy. Just say "Give me the Brit sauce"

    3. I guess I could just say "Lea & Perrins, please". If I used the stuff, which I don't.

    4. It's good in bloody marys.
      I also used to wait tables so I'd ask if they wanted it if they ordered meat.
      Other than that, I'll put it in shish kabob marinade.

  2. I'll stick with speaking American, using the regional variations I've picked up over the years.

    If a Brit laughs at me, I'm fine with that, as it's happened with fellow Yanks.

    And, I will bide my time until they mess up a pronunciation ... it's inevitable. And then I will politely correct them. With a smile on my face ... ...
