I don't pronounce the initial vowels in Aaron and Erin differently, but the o and i are definitely two separate sounds.

Yeah, I maybe think the first syllables are different but I'm pretty sure they're really the same. But the second one is different? Sort of run vs rin?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Yeah, vowels are friends. See under: I welcome you to my world, where shit and sheet are pronounced the same.

(I pronounce Erin and Aaron slightly different - very different if I'm speaking Hebrew where Aaron becomes Aharon, but the Mary/merry/marry is not gonna happen).

I know Jewish parents who named their girls Trinity and Bridget.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I pronounce Aaron sort of without a Rochester accent and Erin with a Rochester accent.

I cannot find a good example of my accent online. But sort of like Chicago or Detroit.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Erin with a Rochester accent.

That's like, stretched out to four or five vowels, right? Eeehhhhaaarrrin.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Aaron is like arrow.

Erin is like heir.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Trudy pronounces them the way I do (unsurprising considering we both grew up in Morris County).

I got corrected by a woman whose name was spelled Carline, which I pronounced Carleen. She, being from Rhode Island, pronounced it Colleen.
