Nonstandard pronunciation
editSome people, probably unaware of the other pronunciation and going based off the relationship to paper, pronounce this like paper+-us /ˈpeɪ.pəɹ.əs/ (referenced here, here, here). (Here, several times between the 13 and 14 minute marks, two people even say /ˈpæp.əɹ.əs/.) - -sche (discuss) 02:53, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
