Most English and Welsh accents are “non-rhotic” meaning they don’t pronounce "r"s and would pronounce “Mars” as “mahs”.
I’m from Ireland which does have rhotic accents, along with Scotland. I’m mostly used to hearing the English accents but occasionally it does lead to fun misunderstandings like hearing “carving” as “calving”.

Honest question, feel silly for asking… Is it now, the “King’s English”?
To the main question: Here in Michigan, I’ve only heard Vace and Vah-zeh. There’s not even an R in there, so I can’t get it to rhyme with Mars at all.

Man for some reason it does my nut in when people say Alyoomeenyoom - don’t you have shit to do? Places to be? Dreams to fulfill?
So much shorter and easier - aloomeenum - just rolls of your tounge.
I’m not a native btw 🤣
Dude, if we won’t switch to the Metric system created in the late 1700’s, what are the odds we switch to a spelling decided on 30 years ago?
