Note that I’m not great with IPA, English is my second language, and I made this while stoned 2 years ago, so it might not necessarily be accurate! :P I’m pretty sure that’s how most people pronounce it here. Although Canadian English is a wonderful mishmash of American and British Engliah, with a hint of French and Indigenous influences.
Usually I wouldn’t bother, but seeing as this is a linguistics community; it’s a lot more inclusive to use the singular “they” rather than “he” if you don’t know the pronouns one uses.

How do people say it in your neck of the woods?

It should be /ɹ/ or /ɚ/ instead of /r/.
/r/ is perfectly acceptable to represent that phoneme in a broad transcription. Would only be a problem had
hethey wrote [r].Usually I wouldn’t bother, but seeing as this is a linguistics community; it’s a lot more inclusive to use the singular “they” rather than “he” if you don’t know the pronouns one uses.
Signed, not a he.
