How do you pronounce 'urine'? I have looked it up in the
KENNYON/KNOTT's 'Pronouncing dictionary...' and it turned up /'jurin/
but as I was in the US I remember some people in Chicago pronounce it
/'jurain/ with the /ai/ dyphtong.
Some other dictionaries I've tried claim /'jurain/ to be an obsolete
way of pronouncing it. However, I am wondering if it's more an
off-standard rather than just obsolete.
Do any of you say or hear people say /'jurain/?
