A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

I pronounce them differently, and I grew up on the West coast, too. California, in my case. Did you grow up in Warshington?

I grew up in WA and I say it how OP does. I wonder there this person is from, too.

Anything to do with ‘r’s is a bit contentious. Like America still uses ‘r’s how they’re written.

Now the British are like “Goodness me, you still pronounce the ‘r’ in cah and fah? How uncouth, we’ve moved those pesky ‘r’s to other words ages ago”.

“Moved to where?”

“Any word ending in the lettah ‘a’ I suppose.”
