where are you from? Mer and Mur make the same sound, I can't imagine an accent where this isn't the case
>>30111219
well, but, like, mermaid...
phonetically, it sounds exactly like 'mur-maid'.. Saying the "Mer" in "mermaid" the way it's 'supposed' to be makes it sound like a manservant in elder scrolls.
from macmillan dictionary dot com:
mermaid is pronounced /ˈmɜrˌmeJd/
murmer is pronounced /ˈmɜrmər/
what am i missing?
