People are out here living their lives, but no one is addressing the fact that there’s a D in “fridge” but not in “refrigerator.”

It’s well known when the English invented the fridge some time back in the 13th century it was spelled Refridgerator. However, a bunch of malcontents in the New World decided it was too hard to spell. Sort of like Jewellery/Jewelry.

so this was invented to replace it...................worcestershire

I've often heard "refrigidaire" spoken, perhaps coined by Frigidaire to boost sales.

Worcestershire and Leicestershire were invented so that when the Empire inevitably went belly up - as they all do - the British could still enjoy their sense of smug superiority when they heard American tourists loudly mangling those names on the Underground. That’s why they made Leicester Square (pronounced Lester Square for the curious) a major tourist destination.

Bonus tidbit: the English typically shorten Worcestershire (pronounced woostershear - the shire is where Hobbits live) Sauce to Worcester Sauce.

And the town of Chiswick to the west of London is pronounced Chisick, but sandwich is still sandwich. Go figure.
