''corps'' and ''core''.

Do you pronounce ''corps'' and ''core'' the same?

Do you pronounce ''horse'' and ''hoarse'' the same?

Do you pronounce ''pour'' and ''poor'' the same?

Do you pronounce ''tore'' and ''tour'' the same?

First two sets- yes.
Last two sets- sometimes yes, sometimes no, depending on how I feel like pronouncing "poor" and "tour".

By the way, I am not Tony Blair. I am a random chappie.

Do you pronounce ''corps'' and ''core'' the same? Yes.

Do you pronounce ''horse'' and ''hoarse'' the same? Yes.

Do you pronounce ''pour'' and ''poor'' the same? Yes.

Do you pronounce ''tore'' and ''tour'' the same? Yes.

I pronounce them all the same except for "tore" and "tour." "Tour" has more of an "oo" sound for me.

Elucidating on my (i.e. Tony Blair's) post above,

I sometimes pronounce "poor" like "pore", sometimes like "poo-uh".
I sometimes pronounce "tour" like "tore", sometimes like "too-uh".

Do you pronounce ''corps'' and ''core'' the same? Yes.

Do you pronounce ''horse'' and ''hoarse'' the same? Yes.

Do you pronounce ''pour'' and ''poor'' the same? NO.

Do you pronounce ''tore'' and ''tour'' the same? NO.

Corps and core are, to the best of my knowledge, always pronounced the same.

The pronunciation of the other pairs depends greatly on the accent of the speaker. There are native speakers who pronounce hoarse and horse differently, and those who do not. There are native speakers (like me)
who pronounce pore, poor, and pour the same most of the time.
I also pronounce torr, tore, and tour the same. If you just want to hear how _someone_ says the words, you can try www.m-w.com which has audio samples of many pronunciations, all ina fairly neutral American dialect. A British dialect would sound very differrent.

AAMOI: my "poor" resembles the French "pur"

(Pardon my ignorance, but what does AAMOI stand for?)

"my "poor" resembles the French "pur" "

Really? Don't you mean the French "pour"? I'm gonna have to check out some speech samples of Scots. I'm wondering if there are any phones missing from the Scottish accent relative to the English one. Does the "or" sound in English "for" exist? If so, then in which words?

Mine would be:
Yes
Yes
Yes
No

Mick:

No.....I stick with "pur"..truly. I've just been standing in front of the mirror saying "poor" over and over again...it still comes out "pur" like. The French "pour" is something else altogether. Check it out.

I have noticed that the English (especially from the south) make no distinction betwen "pour" and "poor". They say something like: "Pore man" whereas I definitely say "pur man" (French style ...approximately.

Julian:

sorry.....as a matter of interest.

Yep, pore and poor are the same for me. Like a long "pô:" in French; no "r" sound.

The BBC broadcasters in the days of yore who spoke RP off some sort of accent rulebook pronounced "poor" and "pour", and "tore" and "tour" differently. Of course, as Damian pointed out, most people in the south of England make no distinction between the words nowadays, but I still do sometimes, when I feel like it.

No (vowel and length difference), Yes, No, No.
