Edit: I don’t mean they sound the same I mean the word arse is pronounced how I figured British would pronounce ass with the drawn r rather than the way arse is pronounced (at least where I’m from) it’s a hard r

Those words sound the same? I’m one of those Americans who did not know.
Those words do not sound the same
To me arse just sounded like the British way of saying ass and I never really questioned it but I learned eventually
Nope. They do not sound the same.
Not quite. Brits don’t pronounce the R before a consonant, but the vowel will be more similar to the vowel in “paw” than in “ash.”
Not in the slightest in the UK. Source: in the UK.
Ass isn’t really said, and more seen as an ‘Americanism’. Arse is way more common.
