Silly question, but, has anyone else ever heard somebody pronounce the word lawyer as 'law-yer'?  Some kid at school kept pronouncing it like that and it bugged me for some reason.  doodhuh;

That's how I pronounce it.
Stupid Texan accent.

It definitely does goonish

you just say it faster at the beginning of errand. Look at the words "air" and "err," the pronunciation is the same.

And using the same site, it goes:
Air: ˈer
Err: ˈer
Errand: ˈer-Éâ,,¢nd, ˈe-rÉâ,,¢nd

So as you can see, they all have the same sound bassir;
