arse is 100% pronounced differently to "ass"
That's what I said.
You said the complete opposite, that it's "spelling not pronunciation"
Yeah because arse just sounds like the British way of saying ass. Meaning it's not the pronunciation that's different it's the spelling. Arse sounds different because it is different.
Think of how the British accent sounds and which parts of the words are usually drawn out. If you didn't know they were too different words they should like every other word pronounced differently in British vs American English
