Can YOU Pronounce It?

I believe it is pronounced

WOOSTER

[as in Bertie Wooster of P.G. Wodehouse's

Jeeves & Wooster fame]

SHUR

[not "shy-er"]

SAUCE

[well, at least that word is straightforward!]

AM I RIGHT OR WRONG?

Tell me in the comments!

Language, Spelling & Grammar FUN!

Grammar Police

When I first started surfing the 'net many years ago, I was appalled by all the rampant grammatical/spelling mistakes and typos. But you can't hold back the ocean with a broom, can you, so there's no point in being a pain in the ass about the situation. I don't take it upon myself to gratuitously point out those errors to people. Just "go with the flow" is my philosophy. Besides, I occasionally make an inadvertent grammatical/spelling mistake or typo in my own blog posts! (And before anyone takes me to task, the split infinitive in my third sentence can now, in our modern times, be accepted as proper colloquial English usage).

of expressions and sentiments!
