mjmooney Posted October 21, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2014 Everybody on BBC news saying "yers" instead of "years". ears with a y in front of it. That's how you say it. It's pronounced 'yers'. I hate it when I hear people say yee-ers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it when I hear people say yee-ers. Most English accents don't particularly lend themselves to pronouncing it similarly to ears, sounds very odd.

I hate it when I hear people say yee-ers. And what are those two things on the side of your head that you've endlessly punished over the "yers" by listening to The Beatles religiously? Your "ers"? No, they're you're ears (eerz, not urz). Now stop being silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was rather rude and remiss (of me) to pass over your valuable research. So: thanks. That came across as sarcastic (or condescending, or both) - it was neither. I don't always convey emotion well (or appropriately). Ta. Edited October 21, 2014 by snowychap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
