I hear air for err, often with the t pronounced, and intelligentsia with a soft g (all variant pronunciations of the past century or less), but I'm not losing sleep over it. Oh, and flaccid with the first c soft, rather than hard [sic].
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

a bit of Viagra might help with that.

Air is the pronunciation I learned for err, and by far the more often heard, not that it's common in everyday speech. I don't believe I've every heard a hard c in flaccid. It all depends on where you're from, I guess.

Cannot get it mixed up with 'ear', either.
