it's "pur" or same to "pour"?
how do you pronunce "poor"?
I pronounce "poor" and "poor" the same (both with an "o" sound, not a "u" sound). I'm from California, BTW.
/pO:r/==>>[p_hO:r] it is, same as pour. It doesnt rhyme with tour for me.
I pronounce "poor" as [pU@`], rhyming with "tour" [tU@`], but not with "pour" [pOr].
