How do you pronounce...?

How do YOU pronounce:

1. answer - ANNsa or AAHNsa or other?
2. advance - advANNs or advAAHNs or other?
3. pasta - PAAHsta or PAHsta (I heard a few people say that) or other?

And what's correct, or does it not matter?

Ah, but how do YOU pronounce it?

And poh-tart-oh sounds weird  big_smile

Re: How do you pronounce...?

So.. None of you put an "er" sound on the end of answer? Or did I miss something here?
I say it like "Ann-Sir"
