Dune mess ear?

Quick pronunciation survey. In each case, pick the one that's closest to your version – it doesn't have to be absolutely exact. (And 'ə' is a schwa, ie. a neutral 'uh' type of vowel sound.)

If you use different pronunciations in different contexts, answer the commonest one and expand in a comment. Likewise if you have a pronunciation that's not like any of the options…

I think I know _why_ that one differs for me, and it dates back to one of the songs we sang in the school choir ("I Sing Of A Maiden", not that anyone would care). It includes a line about "as dew in April that falleth on the grass" and my music teacher was particular about how it was pronounced, and it stuck.

Was she makeless?

I answered "dy..." for most things, but am now (saying things out loud) and wondering that I might veer more towards a "j...". I do remember being very firmly told by choirmonsters that it was dyo-oo-oo in April.

She was indeed makeless, and our guy said much the same about the April dampness ;)
