Subject: Re: tour, tore



The observation made me think about my own pronunciation and I realize that I

used to say tour (when living in New Jersey and New York), but I now have to

admit that I pronounce the word to rhyme with tore. I wonder if my twelve year

stay in Western PA has anything to do with this change?
