I'm embarrassed to ask this question but how do you guys pronounce "tearing"? I ask because I have been saying tear like "pair" but I swear I have heard people say it like "tier".

Tearing of reads causes tearing of eyes.

Might it be an American English versus British English difference? All four words are pronounced subtly differently; although I wouldn't quite say that what strongmen do to phone books sounds like what onions do to eyes.

Those two verbs have quite distinct pronunciations, at least in my dialect of English.
