Pronunciation[edit]

The article presently says that the pronunciation of "Pearson" is /ˈpɪərsən/. This is surely incorrect. In my dialect, the natural way to say it would be more like /ˈp[invalid input: 'iəɹ']sən/, where the first schwa is debatable; notice the change to the first vowel and the rhotic. Indeed, this is how I have heard it pronounced throughout my personal experience.

Can we get a citation on the proper pronunciation or something? IbexNu (talk) 23:45, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Concur. I would just "edit aggressively", in good WP fashion, if I were you, IbexNu. Jmacwiki (talk) 20:18, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
