    Woostah has that weird pronunciation that doesn’t match the spelling, but there’s always a ‘T’ in Worcester!

      I always liked phonetically spelling it “wuss-TAH” I’ve never seen someone mispronounce it after that description… it shouldn’t sound like “Woosh” without the H - it should be a more narrow sound between Wuss and Wiss - for perfect accuracy throw your tongue against your teeth in wuss when you hit the S.
