'For-head' jars with me. It's pronounced forrid, isn't it?
Forehead: for-head or forrid?

Fair question...it's just one of those things. It's like it jars when I hear ree-search. It's ri-search, isn't it? Doesn't matter a toss - like I say, it jars. Guess I'm curious to know whether it's just me.

I am reminded of a rhyme from my childhood:-
There was a girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very, very good,
But when she was bad she was horrid.
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Forr-edd.
Incidentelly, I am also familiar with the versw Waffles quotes, only for some reason I always pronounce the last word as 'Howwid!'
I must read too much 'William'

"Forrid" is closest to my pronunciation. Likewise, "weskit" rather than "waistcoat."
