Bharatvarsh:
Believe me I tried convincing them and used certain examples from English. It is just that I am doing a poor job.
They accept there are variances in English pronunciation, for example the famous "go" and "do". But it is the standard way, and an English speaking person understands it.
Hauma:
The core differentiation that my friends are making is that they understand that such pronunciations exist and will prevail, but fundamentally it is wrong.
All:
I always used to wonder by "Balaram Jakkadd" was written in English as "Balaram Jakkar". Why does the "d" sound is sometimes written as "r" in English?
