this sounds wierd to me. I have heard vaz that does not really rhyme well with anything but is close to cause from because or like saws or laws. Never as something that rymes with mars or cars though. And the vase as in face type I have heard to.
Sorry, this is the American pronunciation. We are British and we speak the Queen's English.
However, the older I get, the less I care and the reality is that vocabulary evolves. Words also become incorporated between cultures because humans travel and shit.
My favourite is the American pronunciation of aluminum that has us Brits frothing over a missing i, which is hilarious because the man who discovered it used the i less version because that's the correct word. It was changed by the science community so that it fitted in with the other iums on the table. It's all a bit mad.
I do currently hate the word gotten as it's a throwback to the 1800s and I'm a progressive type but I'm sure I'll get over it eventually.
Really? What reason could stand at the base of of your pronunciation? Can you provide even a single case where someone would lose face to embrace pronouncing it with such disgrace? I have half a mind to chase you away from this place. Or at the very least replace or erase you from this sharing space.
