MODERATORS
It depends on the dialect, as it relies on the weak vowel merge. Basically: if "John Lenin" and "Vladimir Lennon" sound right for you, you got that merge.
For those who find them to sound the same, the second vowel should be around [ə]. For those who distinguish them, "caret" should have [ɪ] and "carrot" [ə].
