I mean as long as you knew the word age you’d probably pronounce it in a more stilted way, but similar to british people. Gare - age. American english is just weird because Gare becomes Gurr and age becomes odge.
Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned"

What a mess of a word now that I look at it. Two Gs pronounced differently, an “E” at the end that does not effect the second “A” (as in Rag vs. Rage). Like imagine trying to pronounce that word if you’ve never seen it, or spell it if you’d only heard it

Oh yeah I didn’t even consider “gare - adge” vs “gar - ahj” or however the heck you would try and spell the difference in the way it’s pronounced. Every time I think about it, I’m so grateful that I don’t have to try and learn English as an adult…
