When does "are" sound like the rest?
- mmooss 2y agoIt's a unit of measure, not a form of 'to be'. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43398196 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43398196
- roryirvine 2y agoWhen referring to the metric unit of area - more commonly seen in the form "hectare". But this is all very dialect/accent-dependent. Personally, I'd put a bit of a glottal stop in the middle of "e'er", and would say the "err" more like it could be written as "irr", so that set would only be a quadruplet for me.
