This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Tova:
They could have made it a picture of a pier, BUT NO :roll:
cybersmurf:
I was always under the impression 'pear' was pronounced like 'bear', not 'peer'. Or does that depend on regional accents?
Thrillho:
It does differ on regional accents. You might find folks from Australia, say, might have more of a 'pier' kind of pronunciation of that word.
That said, I thought that part of the joke in this case was that it barely works.
It took me along time to work out that 'Squirrel Girl,' in many American accents, rhymes.

You're in Britain, right? How do you say it there?
Thrillho:
'Pair.'
P-ehh-uhrr.
Like air. Or rare.
That said, my Irish friends tend to seem to make that word into two syllables with a y dividing them.
Also there are accents up north where it would be pronounced 'Puhr' or forgive me 'Purr' or I guess almost 'Pür'.
