Just out of curiousity, how do you pronounce "err" when you pray the Venite?

Growing up in Boston, my natural way of pronouncing it was to "air" because, well, you were just dropping the second syllable of "error," and you don't say "ur-ur," right?

But then I was told here in Ottawa I was wrong, and must say "urr."

Then, I was listening to the downloadable Bible I now have on my BlackBerry and Playbook. It has a great feature where some actor with what sounds like a British accent is reading the King James Bible.  Quite dramatic.  Maybe I'm cheating a bit when, as I pray my office, I have the actor read out loud from my phone or tablet, but hey, I'm at least doing the office, so don't complain!

And, guess what! He says "air" in your hearts.

What say you? Msgr. Burnham?
