The OED has it down as

/ˈtəːmərɪk/

Which is t-er-m-a-r-i-k

With the ‘er’ pronounced as in her.

So yes, the R should be pronounced.

What the fuck is going on here?! Assume it’s some kind of deep South English joke. The third letter is R so it’s pronounced TUR-meh-RICK.

I think you’ll find it’s actually pronounced ter-ma-rik, as per my OED findings above.

Know someone who pronounced hummus like who moose. Don’t think this merits a poll as it’s clearly insane.
