It's MY honor

Do you say "it's an honor to speak to you" more often than
"It's my honor to speak to you?"

Does "my honor" sounds strange to you?

thanks.

Yes, it sounds strange.

Don't know why, "my honor" just sounds strange.
sire   Wed Apr 11, 2007 10:53 am GMT
My honour, sounds much better, looks better :P
Guest   Wed Apr 11, 2007 10:57 am GMT
"my honour" is only a spelling difference you moron.
sire   Wed Apr 11, 2007 11:00 am GMT
Not really, its pronounced differently. It also looks better: P
Guest   Wed Apr 11, 2007 11:02 am GMT
No, it isn't pronounced differently. Are you French, I wonder?

<<No, it isn't pronounced differently. Are you French, I wonder?>>

No my lootenant, or? should it be: no my leftenant? only a spelling difference innit? :P

No, it sounds just fine Lee. (some humour is vital damnit, no offence, ok?)

You're rather incoherent. I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

<<You're rather incoherent.>>

Surely you meant Coherent? all my inputs were relevant and not meant to be snide.

Show on the differences in spelling and pronunciation, would that qualify?

Lee: In that context, you would have to say, "It's an honor to speak to you." "It's my honor to speak to you" sounds unnatural. (But regardless, that's a very formal sentence that wouldn't pop up in conversation.)

In this country Honor is a female first name. It's an honour to inform you of this. Both are pronounced exactly the same....the "h" is as silent as the tomb.
