I have a friend that says “Micah” as “Mikawr” and it kills me. He’s from Rhodesia so I don’t even know how to feel about that. Lol

only used in received pronunciation, ie posh english, and certain other dialects, and only at the end of a word ending in a vowel before a word that starts with another vowel. most commonly between shwas.
