How do you pronounce the word "tour"?

Asked by deni (23141points) March 4th, 2013

Please indulge me.

For me tour rhymes with pour, door, roar, oar, more.

Exactly the same as tore.

This originates from me not being able to understand my boyfriend’s grandpa’s use of the word last night, he said it in such a distinct way I had no idea what he was trying to get out!! My boyfriend pronounces it the same way the grandpa does. I pronounce it like I just described above. He thinks its much more common his way. I said I think it’s much more common my way.

You?
