Re: fair-haired
Yes, there are regional variations in American English. Do you know which accent is chosen by MW as the reference in the pronunciation keys. Is it General American?My problem is that, as I have mentioned before, they are indeed denoted differently in British English. The first one is a simple...

Re: How would you pronounce these foreign names?
I suppose demicjusz is interested in how those words are pronounced by people who speak English, so I don't think my opinion here would be useful, since my spoken English doesn't contain many sounds apart from those that belong also to Spanish (so you can imagine my accent). With my nil knowledge...

Re: character, k-air-acter
Hi Marvin,I think you are right. Actually, I think I pronounce "thanks" the way you suggested and not really the way I wrote. How strange... The fact is that I often don't even know how I usually pronounce a word, since I don't practice spoken English much (I'm in Italy, I'm not living abroad)...

Re: diphthongs -- (nice, down)
@CalifJim So, do you have mostly a Northern accent or a Western accent now? Have you picked up the cot-caught merger yet (or did you come from the cot-caught merged region of the North)? Do you have the California vowel shift or the Northern cities vowel shift?
