@occasionalrain The British pronunciation is Ape, not App.

 

Oh those Brits and to think we in America taught them the English language.😂😂😂

@occasionalrain - So with that way of thinking, I guess you say app-ron for apron?

@santorini 

Apron is two syllable. A alone is the first syllable and therefore long, like in agent.

 

Apple isn't pronounced ape.
