Matty-hey! Thanks for the welcome!

I send a birthday present to Yorkshire every year. I think I even finally figured out how to pronounce the name correctly. (We say 'Yorkshire' completely wrong in the states.) mile:

So how does the average American say "Yorkshire"?

So how does the average American say "Yorkshire"?

We emphasize the "ire" and say it like "tire" or "higher." For us to say it correctly it would have to be spelled something like "Yorkshure."

I grew up in a neighborhood that had Yorkshire in it's name, so I have it ingrained in me the American way, which is why it took me awhile to get it right.
