Air [iis the pronunciation I learned for err][/i]
Yes, that pronunciation has been more common, but it was not the original one. I'm not saying one or the other pronunciation is more correct than the other. I was just offering a more cautionary tale for the peever in all of us. Air for err was not so common fifty or more years ago. Now it's quite common. Same with flaccid with a hard c. Language changes.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
