"I-deer".

I don't know how I was raised in such a redneck household and never picked up those pronunciations. My dad pronounces "ruin" as rurn, and room as "ruhm" but pronounces roof correctly. My mom pronounces mature as "mah-tewer."

It's also like when Jewish folk say
"I would love to pay full price"
"I would love to pay full price"

New Yorkers pronounce China, Chiner. Law, lawr. Washington, warshington.

Why can't people from the northeast say Trenton or anything that rhymes with it. They can't say the middle of the word? Tri-in.

Is there some biological phenomenon that states when you turn 60 you can't pronounce "Washington" without an R?
