Some pronunciations come with what part of the country you are from or in.

I say worsh for wash, with the r sound like the word wore with an sh at the end, can't stop doing it - its how it is pronounced from where I grew up. I also say hammer with a long A sound pronouncing it like heymer instead of hammer. DH loves that one!

Accents figure in too. A person I know from North Carolina says impotent for the word important, as an example. A family member says innerest (no first T sound) for the word interest
