For the Webster, erring either way is quite acceptable.

John, I would say "air" for err. I reserve the "ur" for animated writing where I would pause for a moment, like....er.....in this manner. As Lilian has indicated, both pronunciations appear to be correct in the dictionary. I have heard people say it both ways, and have understood it in context. I may have asked them to repeat it had the context not been given.

I personally favor "Arrrh!" but my parrot objects.
