&#x27;Care&#x27; rhymes with &#x27;bear&#x27;, &#x27;share&#x27;, &#x27;fair&#x27;; &#x27;car&#x27; rhymes with &#x27;bar&#x27;, &#x27;far&#x27;, &#x27;mar&#x27;. &#x27;Character&#x27;, to me, is pronounced &#x27;car-ack-ter&#x27; with the emphasis on the first syllable. It doesn&#x27;t sound anything like &#x27;care&#x27;.<p>Conversations like this are hard because accent doesn&#x27;t transmit through text. I&#x27;m Irish.
