Re: One more thing
Ok, but personally I don't see that there is much difference between "Bear-ull" and "beh-rull". They really seem to be describing the same pronuciation to me. In normal speech no one is going to hear a difference in whether the "r" is in the first or last syllable.

I was having a hard time describing how I'd pronounce it. There is a difference, but I probably wasn't explaining it well. Bear-ull sounds very southern to me. Bear, like the animal, would be different to the sound Beh makes, but I'm not sure how I can explain it better!I agree with the person who said it would be pronounced like Cheryl, but then I think even Cheryl must be pronounced differently by region.
