Really? I've encountered it as [i@] (the usual pronunciation around this way), [i`] or [ir]. So your 'beard' is like my 'bid'? Ray That, and/or something similar is frequently heard in the UK. My lect varies between [e@] (word finally, e.g. <beer>) and [e:] (medially <beard>), though younger people have [e:] or [I:] for both. Dan
