reblog this and say in the tags where ur from and if u think the names erin and aaron are pronounced the same
It’s nuanced. Ehr-in and Air-in
Wait how do you guys from Australia pronounce them differently,@anniekendrick @bookgirlfanetc? Criminal Minds has literal jokes about how in America (in a part pretty near where I live) they are three same to pronounce (the characters Aaron Hotchner and Erin Strauss)… I definitely pronounce them them pretty much the same but I think@nerd-of-the-universeis onto something there. Basically there is a very VERY subtle difference. Often not necessarily there in my speech but technically sometimes probably.Random Australian chiming in: technically, Erin is ehr-in and Aaron is ahr-on, but both are often dipthonged into a nearly-single syllable, like erryn and arryn, because Straya.
Oh interesting. I actually immediately thought of you@fozmeadowstoo as a third Australian I could’ve tagged but you seem too famous and awesome (lol “random Australian”), I tend to forget you actually follow my lame self back… 😳😊 (I asked about Australian pronunciation btw, because I originally saw this post thanks to@anniekendrickwho had specified Australia in the tags. And well@bookgirlfanis my friend I chat with regularly so she’s one of the few Tumblr mutuals of mine who I know well enough to know she’s in Australia.) I now am wondering exactly how the UK pronunciation differs because it seems like the uk folks are saying basically the same air vs eh things as the Australians… and then there are even other English speaking countries… I always thought us pronouncing them the same was confusing and never even considered it was probably because America ruined it, but elsewhere (and “before”), these two names were actually different.
LOL. If by “famous and awesome” you mean “prolific dork,” then yes! IT MEEE.
I’m always fascinated by pronunciation differences. The big one between the US and Australia that drives me nuts, on account of it being my maiden name, is Graham/Graeme/Grahame etc: pretty much every American I’ve ever met says it as one syllable, like “gram”, instead of as gray-am or gray-ham. This is why it took me until my twenties to realise that there was no such thing as a “gram cracker” (which felt weirdly apropos), and that Americans were actually talking about Graham crackers. *shakes fist at language*
