I have just seen a TV advertisement for I think Amazon TV in which you are asked
“If you could go back in time which error would you want to live in?”
At least that is what it sounded like.
The word is repeated so it’s not a case of needing a hearing test st Specsavers.
I have always ronounced the word era as “eerah” , but am I wrong?
confused now

Sounding like error is the American pronunciation.
In English it is pronounced like Vera.

English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Just as there is a difference between Cornish speakers, Scots, Norfolk and Yorkshire speakers, for example, there will be differences in pronunciation between those who live in America, Australia, Canada and the Caribbean. It's history. They are all valid English speakers – just slightly different and individual.
