Re: More Pronunciation
seer-up
seriously these posts are so dumb. generally there is a right and wrong way to pronounce certain words. the worst is the people that grew up mispronouncing them and somehow think they are correct because of that. it's really easy to realize you are wrong. for example when i say words like car, bar, i pronounce it cahh, bahh.. but i KNOW THIS IS NOT CORRECT. i am not a moron who insists i am right. that is just the accent i have. for aunt i actually say ahhnt. |

[/ QUOTE ] This is a bad analogy. There are no words in English where A-R makes an "ah" sound. Also, you're pronouncing the same sound wrong for every word it's in. Definitely a different phenomenon. |

[/ QUOTE ] On most of the words I've seen posted, the dictionary lists both pronunciations as correct. By what standard are you determining that only one is right? Syrup Aunt |

Syrup Aunt [/ QUOTE ] if a word has two acceptable pronunciations, so be it. even though the words that do have two acceptable pronunciations probably are meant to be said ONE way only, but idiots messed it up so they started to recognize both pronunciations. sort of like immaterial |

Re: More Pronunciation
I don't give it a 36 Mafia-type drawl, but its a lot closer to the "surr" listed than the "seer."
