I asked two questions to AI about American pronunciations. These are both correct? 1) whether the American can elide the sound /r/ as in “there were” In some American English accents, particularly those associated with certain regions or dialects, the "r" sound at the end of words or syllables may be dropped or pronounced very lightly. In fast casual talk, you might hear "there were" pronounced more like "theah weh." The "r" sound at the end of "there" may be less pronounced or even omitted in these cases. 2) whether they pronounce like “the” as in “there were” In fast casual American speech, it's common for the pronunciation of "the" to be reduced or even dropped in certain contexts. In phrases like "there were," the "th" sound in "the" may be less distinct or omitted, leading to a more casual and rapid pronunciation.
