If you pronounce it "Noss-Turr" then "Nostradamus" doesn't work any more. Or noStrudel. It'd be "noss-terr-damus" and "noss-turdal". Please tell me this isn't how you guys are saying these words. It's Noss-truh. I will die on this hill.

Yes, no-stirr is maximally unacceptable. Causes private key loss etc

You know, I generally pronounce words as they seem natural using context. This funny chide leads me to believe you pronounce either "Eyes" or "Yes" strangely. Because you apply pronunciation rules to words that use the same suffix or root.
Cherry cheese strudels they used to sell in Metro supermarkets are the best thing I ever ate. Will die on that hill!
