OK, she's Canadian, so she pronounces it Moohn-tin, but its her name, she can pronounce it how she likes.

"FYE-ERRR" that is how that is pronounced, everyone I know says it like that. However I do not understand this "t" dropping nonsense, I can't even figure out how that would work, if I try to say it like that I cannot.
My sister is like physically incapable of pronouncing the letter g if it is anywhere in a word besides the very start, which is odd.

Funny, trying to teach my Spanish English-teachers who have Britsh-tinged-Spanish-accents to pronounce words, I've decided that British English has fewer distinct vowel sounds. At least the "short" vowels: like the a in cat is a short vowel, or the i in bit.
But now that you mention it, all the vowels in combination with R are different for Brits, but not for Americans. We just say stuff differently.
