Bore rhymes with tour.. no?

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 months ago (8 children)

Bore rhymes with tore. Tour is closer to sewer

I've never heard anyone pronounce "tour" as rhymes with "sewer" in English. Perhaps in other languages?

Maybe you're pronouncing sewer in thinking of a person who sews instead of sewer as in waste drainage.

Drainage system = soo-er
Person who sews = soh-er
Exploring a place, with or without a guide = tohr

That's typically how I hear those pronounced. Idk, I get the sense that some think I'm trying to correct the OP when I'm just trying to figure out how the hell something is pronounced.
