@a6ff0b2b @cfcf7cd7 So, in my dialect and hearing, I hear John saying seh ruh KEW suh. Practically as everyone pronounces it anyway, EXCEPT he is not using a short i sound in the first syllable, but something more like a short e. EVERYONE says sih ruh KEW suh. He rolls with it. Que sera sera, shirt e. I am from Tinnassee. We say pin and pincil, not pehn and pehncil.
