There's probably a word I've been pronouncing wrong my whole life that I don't know about
Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I'm probably still doing it with some word.

And nearby Leominster
Lemon Stir
And Cirencester
and Towcester ("toaster")
Map Men have a few more examples
Sern Stir?
It's pronounced "siren sester".
“-cester” is usually pronounced “stir”, I’d assume then “Sir In Stir” if I got the first part wrong
It's English. The only rule is that actually in some cases the rules are different.
