minus-squaresensiblepuffin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-25 months agoI’ve never heard anyone pronounce “tour” as rhymes with “sewer” in English. Perhaps in other languages?
minus-squarestatic09@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoMaybe you’re pronouncing sewer in thinking of a person who sews instead of sewer as in waste drainage.
minus-squareagamemnonymous@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoCloser to sewer, or “doer” or “fewer”. Compress it to one syllable. Think “ooh” not “ohh”.
minus-squaresensiblepuffin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoI’m not… correcting you, I’m just explaining that I never hear anyone pronouncing tour such that it rhymes with either pronunciation of sewer.
minus-squareagamemnonymous@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoYou said you’d never heard it that way, I just wanted to clarify that I communicated the right pronunciation since “sewer” is a bit more drawn out than I meant to imply. All good
