Feb 7, 2021 at 13:51 comment added tchrist @KillingTime I do not believe that this aspect varies by "which version of English" you use. The difference between singer and finger is universal to the best of my knowledge.

Feb 7, 2021 at 12:35 comment added Lala @Laurel: Thank you! I've read that thread but still find it a bit unclear as I'd really want to know if /ˈlȯŋ-​gər/ and /ˈlȯŋ ər/ are both accepted (equally)?

Feb 7, 2021 at 12:29 comment added Lala I'd say as long as the version used by native English speakers. You said the answer will vary, this means both /ˈlȯŋ-​gər/ and /ˈlȯŋ ər/ are accepted?
