Someone's pronuciation bugging you?

Not bugging me, but my gf's first language is spanish, and I noticed this morning that she pronounces it halfway between "eye-ron" and "eye-run". Definitely not "eye-urn" the way I pronounce it.

ī(-ə)rn. The other pronunciations hurt my mouth to even try to form.

Everyone says "eye-urn" except foreigners or maybe people with strange obscure dialects.

I picked eye-urn, but my pronunciation is maybe a bit closer to eye-orn.

Now... how do you pronounce "irony"?

Isn't it ironic that iron and irony have nothing to do with one another?
Author:  Lex Luthor [ Wed Feb 23, 2011 2:06 pm ]

What about an "irony taste"?

Indeed. That's halfway between eye-run-ee and eye-ron-ee for me.

I have wood for you, Oonagh!


I pronounce 'iron' a a syllable and a half... EYErn. 'Irony' is not related in pronunciation. EYE ruh nee. I break syllables before the consonants for the most part. Not sure why.

eye-urn.
It bugs me, because I'm certain it's a mispronunciation, but I think Reverend Lovejoy's is the only alternate pronunciation I've ever heard.

I - ern

For those of you who don't know the phonetic explanation I posted above, the word is pronounced in one and a half syllables with stress on the leading dipthong.

Ire + n (n as in name but with no following sound). This has to do with its Old English root: íren.

Just looked like a bunch of squares with an "a" and an "n" to me.
