AP-PA (with hard A) - RUL

How are people pronouncing this differently?

Are they rhyming with peril rather than barrel?

Ssshhh! Don't tell everyone! I'm trying to cultivate a 'mad as a bag of snakes' reputation.

onebatmother · 01/04/2009 22:33

Okay, that one person is a nutter then, tinker, I think we'd all except that nutter EdwardCullensWife agree
