Dear American pigs,
"Shire", as in Cheshire, Worcestershire etc. is pronounced "Sheer", not "Shyer".
Do you feel silly?

In my Scottish accent I pronounce it as "shir"
So it would be
>yorkshir
>lancashir
>oxfordshir
The name Leicester has been around for around 1500 years, possibly before that. The Anglo-Saxons originally wrote and said it as "Ledecester", which eventually became "Leicester", but the pronunciation didn't cange all that much
