Doesn't rhyme in California either. Pronounced more like "aired"

That's the beauty of regional dialects. In British English it does.

Not the same vowel at all. "Lord" rhymes with "ward".

If regional dialects are taken into account, then words like 'Stared' and 'paired' should be allowed - the middle sound is 'er' in parts of northern England.
