    Or
    Ish-shew

    I pronounce Ireland as Areland. Can't stand the way Americans say I-errr-land. And the way some English say Dub-a-lin.

    Do you pronounce the letter R like "or" or "are"?

    eg. RTÉ: is it "or tee ee" or "are tee ee"?

    I say "or".

    A very important issue, and certainly a candidate for Thread Of The Year.

    ps. How do you pronounce "issue"? Is it like "ish-oo" or "iss-yew"? I ask because a couple of years ago, RTÉ reporters started saying "iss-yew". Why?

    When is T happening, thats the one im having trouble with.
