    Both, just depends on how much effort I put into speaking.

    Depends on your accent, and occasionally on the placement of the word in the sentence and the emphasis given by the speaker.

    It depends on its usage at the time.

    Both.
    It depends on context.
    If you’re mad at someone for taking your things, it leans towards R’s.
