1. *lol* Anything that ends in an 'a' vowel sound will end up sounding like an
'er', particularly if it's followed by a word that begins with a vowel...typically Brit pronunciation!
(I'm half Brit myself, and used to live in Nottingham...my husband and my kids laugh at that pronunciation all the time, but I guess I'm used to it)
:hi:
