  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  That's spot-on, actually. :)
  
  Though if you were a local you'd say it 'Gloss-tur-shur'.

  It is completely unintuitive.  There's no way you'd guess how to say it from the spelling alone.

  Actually, thinking about it, that's probably how someone with my accent would pronounce a name like that.

  
  

  After all, this is the part of the country where "for" becomes "fer", "piano" becomes "p'yanna", and W is a "dub-ya".
