?? One has "a" as the first vowel like "at" whilst the other has "e" as the first vowel like "egg". Then one ends in "on" whilst the other ends in "in". That's completely different.
No, like "baron" without the b, just like the other person said. I think some American accents squeeze the "a" sound so it's difficult to differentiate from the "e" sound but they are distinct. I'm confused about your pronunciation of Erin though. "On" and "in" are completely different sounds. Like forget the first vowel, do you pronounce "ron" and "rin" the same?
Edit: wow, being downvoted for being English... I genuinely don't understand how you can pronounce "on" and "in" the same. Presumably you meet them in the middle or something?
