Talk:Are

[edit] Pronunciation

As this word has a homonym in English, and in French the "e" at the end would be silent, I think this page should have various pronunciations given. --Sobolewski 04:01, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

It has three homonyms: air, heir and are (the first two being homophones & the last being a homograph). I'll give the English pronunciation. I don't know the French one but I don't believe that this is the place for it anyway. Jɪmp 06:07, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BIPM 8th ed

BIPM have moved on. They no longer refer to the unit "are" and as such it is no longer accepted for use with SI as it once was in the 7th ed. I am updating the article text. Bleakcomb (talk) 03:23, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
