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".

Like pair. Analagous to screen tearing, where you have a mismatch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing

I had to google to find someone saying it differently so I could justify my dumb question :)

I'm pretty sure that is not where I first heard it that way but I have been reluctant to say it out loud (luckily no one in my company has any idea on this but still... I had speech issues as a child)
