different accent = different pronounciation,
e.g brits say route (root) and americans say it (rowt)

'Mom' rhymes with 'Bomb'.
'Mum' rhymes with 'Bum'.
Comment on the way people pronounce 'Girl' depending on their regional accent in the UK.
'Girl' rhymes with 'Earl' in Canada & America.
'Girl' rhymes with 'Barrel' in parts of the UK.

barrel? wtf we must pronounced that differently aswel because it does not rhyme with barrel. you must pronounce it bur5b4rel. Anyway people in England speak differently like every 5-10 miles so everyone is different here.

I think of pronouncing "girl" to rhyme with "barrel" as an Irish thing, pretty much exclusively.

She also says "jidges" instead of "judges". I feel like I'm watching Eliza Doolittle.

I am an American and I won't complain about how she says America (or AmericER) when people from the northeast of my country say ideaR instead of idea. Every country has its' own quirks of pronuciation. My main complaint about Cat is that I have no idea why she is even vaugely qualified to host "So You Think You Can Dance".

She's an awesome host Watch the Canadian SYTYCD and you will realize how great Cat is at her job.

I sure it's because she was a linguistic feature called Intrusive R, it's where an R is inserted between two vowels where no R should be. I believe most English and Australians have Intrusive R's but they seem largely oblivious to it.
Here's a link describing it:
