At least we can all agree on 'inure', right?
…right?
Btw 'lyure' likewise disconcerts my Canuck ears but I can deal with 'alyure'.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes which is on tv right now was based on a play based on a novel from the late 20s which I didn't realise until the novel turned up in a recent poll.
― Stevolende, Sunday, 27 December 2020 14:42 (three years ago) link
"syoot" would seem pretentious in the US, I would say. We say sooot (rhymes with shoot). (Not to be confused with soot, which rhymes with put.)

Turns out little-remembered southern rock act the Marshall Tucker Band didn't actually have anyone in them named Marshall Tucker. Who knew?!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Marshall_Tucker_Band#Origin_of_the_name
The "Marshall Tucker" in the band's name does not refer to a band member, but rather a blind piano tuner from Columbia, South Carolina.[5] While the band was discussing possible band names one evening in an old warehouse they had rented for rehearsal space, someone noticed that the warehouse's door key had the name "Marshall Tucker" inscribed on it, and suggested they call themselves "The Marshall Tucker Band," not realizing it referred to an actual person. It later came to light that Marshall Tucker, the blind piano tuner, had tuned a piano in that rented space before the band, and his name was inscribed on the key
