Aaron = "Air-ron".
Erin = " Err-rin"
I pronounce "air" and "err" the same, although if I make an effortm I can make the vowels in the second syllables sound different ("-un" vs "-in").

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Only if you're Yosemite Sam.
Every once in a while I hit a word where my "Southern Indiana Is Actually Kind of the South" comes out. Apparently, this is one of them.
I, however, pronounce "battery" with 3 syllables, "wrestling" does not have an a in it, and "creek" does not have an i.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so he knew ev'ry tree
Kilt him a be'are when he was only three
I'm still trying to determine if anyone really pronounces "bear" like that.
(I was watching Fantastic Mr. Fox today, which has that song on the soundtrack).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Instead of our usual Memorial Day bike ride on Block Island, a couple of friends and I rode our bikes down to Narragansett Beach today just to see what was going on. Almost nobody was on the actual beach (at around noon), although it was cool (low 60's). There wasn't the usual mass of people (or cars) one usually sees on Memorial Day weekend in these parts.

I wish more did. I might not have to grind my teeth at seeing "grin and bare it" written quite so often.

Hey. New board.

Pretty sure anybody who pronounces bear with two syllables pronounces bare the same way.

There are three episodes of Frank's Place that various people have uploaded to YouTube, and I have now watched them all. What a brilliant series, even in low-res video that was obviously ripped from actual video tapes.

Oh, I remember that show being good! I wonder how much of it I actually saw...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I loved Frank's Place! Was so bummed when it was cancelled after one short season.
It was part of that whole movement towards half hour dramedies that didn't have the usual sitcom beats, along with The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd and others.
