Hi guys, just watched a video of the British PM in Ireland, and noticed that he made quite a clear distinction between island and ireland, which is hard to do if your English might i add! lol :lol:
Most of us would pronounce them the same way right? I think this is just a feature of RP but i may be wrong. Im not sure how he pronounces Ireland though... He uses a triphthong correct? Maybe somebody can work out the phonetic symbols...
Anyone else make this distinction?
