| I'd like to think I speak colloquially and conversationally, and I say them both in the "flattened" way. It's more "natural," as stated elsewhere in the thread. It never occurred to me that I'm not honoring "you"...Maybe if I'm speaking French I'll elongate the vowel in "tour." I'm not usually speaking French...:) | |

| I am not sure what "flattened" means. I pronounce yours and tours to rhyme with Coors (as in beer). She pronounced "tour" as if it were "turd" without the "d" at the end. So now I am going to fixated on how people pronounce "tours" and "yours" and trying to figure out if you can describe how they speak as "flattened." Thank you, ATC. |

| I deleted a sentence above where I said I talked to my neighbor this morning and she pronounced tours as if it were turd with an s instead of a d. I will never be able to follow the conversation at Thanksgiving today, since I will be listening for pronunciation. |

| I was using Chromolume's word, suggesting that it's like tor-yor. Tur sounds like squashing! But I'm sure - or is it shoor? - I use yur sometimes too in colloquial conversations... In any case it seems natural to me to make the words rhyme. Someone at ATC once complained that ballet is pronounced with different emphasis in different lines of "At the Ballet." That doesn't bother me, because I know I could pronounce it either - or i-ther! - way... |
