Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -cester have a silent 'c' and are pronounced /stər/, but their stressed vowels differ (e.g., /ʊ/, /ɛ/, /ɪ/, /aɪ/), so they do not rhyme with Gloucester (British /ˈɡlɒstər/). However, lobster and foster (ending in -ster) share the exact stressed vowel /ɒ/ and following /stər/, making them genuine rhymes with the British pronunciation. For American English (Gloucester /ˈɡlɑːstər/), the rhyme with lobster (/ˈlɑːbstər/) also holds, but foster (/ˈfɔːstər/) does not.
