Here “bus” is pronounced like “buzz” and I didn’t realise it was weird until I went down to Devon and it was a dead giveaway that I’m a Brummie lol

    Elemen-tary or documen-tary

    The tary pronounced like Terry. Apparently this is unusual outside of this region.

          I’ve noticed some people say “document-tree” now that I think about it.

          Where I live it’s more like as you described but not quite “terrrry” but “Tuh-ree” ?

            i doubt many people actually say it like the er in Terry. Deemphsized syllables like that tend to get the schwa.
