Well my dear, it is time to redefine your core beliefs.

In American English they do. But in British English, carry is pronounced differently... the A is more like the A in "math." I think.

I don't really think they're different, either. You have to provide two words with an "ehr" sound and an "air" sound, so I can determine whether they're different or not.

Air is a harder sound, it's further back in your mouth. "Ehr" is more forward. It's subtle, maybe that was a bad example.

"Ehr" is like the "e" in "get", but with a "r" instead of a "t".

"Ehr" is like the "e" in "get", but with a "r" instead of a "t". Now you're just making up sounds. Think of an actual (English) word that that sound is in.

get?

That's eh, not ehr.

I would have said Ehr was kind of like hair but with a soft tone and a slight roll to the r.

Yeah pretty much. I dunno. Maybe its just because in choir we always had to do these exercises with random vowel syllables that I differentiate.

Americans don't roll their r.
