I thought Joplin choked on a sandwich? Member 616, 8404 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 220 530.0 kgs @ 78.8kgs UnEq	Me and the lass are just discussing the pronunciation of iron. As in iron, clothes, metal and ironman I say i-orn she says i-ron the Internet agrees with me but apparently that's not enough

please use accurate taxonomy in our communication Member 871, 469 posts SQ 240, BP 137.5, DL 262.5 640.0 kgs @ 89kgs Eq	IainKendrick said:Mind you Doc. D will have the definitive answer! Dunno about that... There's certainly no intervocalic rhotic in standard modern British English pronunciation, whence a verdict in favour of the OP. But the orthography seems to reflect Middle English rhotacism of an earlier s (cf. retention in modern German 'Eisen'). In other words, had the argument been ensuing in the time of Chaucer, the OP's better half might well have been right. The relationship between English orthography and pronunciation is a very curious one...
