How do you say 'mirror'?
Is it like 'mer-ro' or 'mer-rer'???
***I'm serious here!***

Meer-or. That is a very interesting question. I would guess that it depends on what part of the country you come from.
Interesting note:
I love languages, and I found something very interesting a while back.
a) The Japanese verb "to see" is miru.
b) the Spanish verb "to look" is mirar.
c) the English "looking glass" is mirror. Note that they all have mir, vowel. Does anyone think that is a coincedence? I don't. I believe that they are somehow connected, from the integration of languages, or from the mongols spreading around from europe to Asia. Thought you ought to know.

if you are in the UK it would be more like mir-ro, but in the US it can range from mer-rer to mir-roar
hope it helps :)

I'm from the south east of England, and would pronounce it:
Mi - rer

Yeah the second one - mer- er.
"Mer" as in rhyming with "her", following by "er."

I pronounce it "mier - er" (i've never heard the first one unless it's like a strong english accent).

I am Canadian but I seem to be the only one to pronounce it:
mYurr - one syllable - rhymes with fur.
