One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
It is Indiana!
Eye-ran.
Eye-rack.
Eye-rland.
Of course there is nothing wrong with pronouncing Ireland as 'eye-rland'.
But Iran and Iraq are pronounced with hard 'E'.
Why do a lot of Americans who appear on TV mis-pronounce Iran and Iraq? Profound hatred?
By the way, the Brits do not appear to have this problem.
