minus-squareklemptor@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·16 days agoWell I suppose the British pronunciation would be Eee-oar as well, but the ‘oar’ would probably sound more like ‘aww’ instead of the American R at the end. So Eee-aww sounds sort of like the ‘hee-haw’ sound a donkey might make.
