The on= ly issue is that it's not how lojban is pronounced.

I'm sorry, I have to disagree with you. Loj= ban is very permissive with pronunciation. The only person who's ever e= ven suggested that you can't use the sound in "better"= for .ebu that I am aware of is you.

I imagine that some of our ponjbope'o had some = trouble learning how/when/where to use "l" vs "r" but a= t the end of they day they will/should because that's how lojban is pro= nounced. =A0If you can't pronounce "er" as "e" foll= owed by "r" then practice.
=A0
And no, its not just &qu= ot;some people" who have a problem pronouncing "er"
and "eir" diff= erently, its everyone from what I can see. I've yet to
see how anyone "cou= ld" pronounce them differently. If anyone would
like to prove me wrong I'm all ears.
