'As* and Ars*' Pronunciation

Hi Everybody,

As I understand, American English would use 'Ass', like Asshole, Asslicker....British English would use 'Arse', Arsehole, Arselicker, please correct me if I'm wrong. Here I'd like to know the pronunciation of Ass and Arse, in dictionary Ass pronounced[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot] æs[/FONT][/FONT], Arse pronounced[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]ɑːs[/FONT][/FONT].....My question is that any people would pronounce Ass as [FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]ɑːs [/FONT][/FONT]or pronounce Arse as [FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]æs[/FONT][/FONT]......I am just curious to understand more...Thanks.

W

First tell us how it's pronounced in your Outer Space language.

We might then consider whether it's worth taking your question seriously.

No, they wouldn't. Please do not print rude words in full in the titles of posts. Please use A** in the title.

Williamyh, I agree wholeheartedly with Rover_KE! You have posted 331 messages since you have joined the forums! Don't you think it is time to come back to Earth and update your profile? It's hard to take anyone seriously when they claim 'outer space' as their current location! :roll:

I also agree Rover_KE. Phonetics has a lot to offer compare to this.
