    Isn’t oligarchy a loan word from the French language? Or like, if not a loan word I’m sure it at least has French etymology

    Bernie has a very strong Brooklyn accent which is why the R turns to aw, but either pronunciation is totally fine.

      No I haven’t. Up until I read these replies on Lenny I had no idea it was a thing. TIL

        I’m going to assume you’re not being sarcastic here. Aren’t there accents in France?
