Hello, is it too posh/prim pronouncing the word "year" as /jɜː/.
I've found in a dictionary that only 20% of the population pronounce it in that way; the vast majority of people use /jɪə/.
I ask because I just noticed that I use /jɜː/, and I don't want to sound as if I were a character from Downton Abbey (the posh ones!).
Thank you :up:.
