How do you pronounce these?

I hear TV ads with ruh-ward' and ruh-place' and they make me crazy.

I say ree-place and ree-ward. Very slight 2nd syllable emphasis, and the ree is quick.

Also, just heard another: ruh-member'. Also, ruh-pair', ruh-peat' ruh-minder', ruh-verse', ruh-lax', and ruh-gard'

Would these people say ruh-generate'?
