To tell DH he is pronouncing DD’s name wrong.

[DuchessOfNorfolk]

DD is mainly known as a shortening of her name. Occasionally we call her the full versio. However I have noticed DH pronounces it in a different way to how I have ever heard it pronounced. I assumed there was just one pronunciation of it. I’m wondering if it would be reasonable to point it out? Or do I just live with it.

WowLookAtYou have you never heard of Beatrix Potter?

ReanimatedMuse to you, it is Prince Willyum, but to us it is Prince William

sleeping...... can you spell the pronunciation of poor, paw, pour, pore please?

in my accent poor= poo-uh...
paw rhymes with claw,
pour and pore are the same and are pronounced to rhyme with door.
the difference between paw/pore...paw is like the sound you make when you see a cute baby 'awww!' and pore is like the sound you make when you are surprised 'oh!'
hopefully that makes sense

Sooo
Poo-uh
Poe-uh
And paw?

derxa as a fellow SALT i'm feeling your pain here! (pronounced feelin yor pain yur )

middleclass....poo-uh(poor), p-oh(pore/pour), and p-aww(paw). is the best i can do without using the phonetic alphabet.

It’s the p-oh one I don’t get. It’s like Po from the tellytubbies?

Emu Fanks luv! It's like that cartoon. 'I can't go to bed. Someone's wrong on the internet!'

Southerner here

Poor is poo- uhr
Pour is por
Paw is paaaw

I mean don’t get in my head, not don’t get why you say it btw x

Yeah I don’t get the p-oh one either. That would be Po in my accent. That can’t be right? I think I just need to hear someone say them all.

Yes, Emu if you could just film a quick YouTube of you saying each one followed by it in a contextual sentence that would be fab

Paw, pore, poor, pour... Sound exactly the same to me.

"My dog hurt her paw, so I'm going to get some warm water to pour on her poor paw, while simultaneously exfoliating my pores."

The same I tell you. No difference. ((Apart from the plural on pores)).

middleclass totally like Po from the tellytubbies! i po my drink. i have huge pohs on my nose.

ha! derxa i like that one!

My parents have a story I wrote as a child (obviously with accompanying badly drawn picture), where I describe the man building our house (extension) taking lots of bricks from the lorry with a fort lift, terrible picture shows I meant fork lift, but as DF is a Londoner and I was raised in Essex t's and k's were often glottalised so I hadn't understood what he was saying when he told me what it was. Luckily a good old RG University knocked that out of me 🙄, meaning my family think I'm posh and it's making my favourite name for unborn baby feel like it might be a nightmare (Tabitha, to many of my family would be Tabiffuh). There are no right and wrong accents, just wonderful regional variation. In some ways I wish I'd been more confident in that when I was a student.

I cannot make any pourpoorpawpore not rhyme with claw. I'm screwed

Does paw and claw not rhyme in your accent?

How do you say claw?

Delphinium are you not pronouncing the "r" sounds at the end of pour and pore, or are you adding an "r" to paw? You must be doing one or the other for them all to sound the same

happypoobum

I do not pronounce Rs on the end of words. Non-rhotic accent. Sounds like an "aw" or an "ah" (like in car for example).

I also pronounce Ls as Ws. "Trouble" becomes "trubbow". "Full" becomes "fuwh".

Come to think of it... "Fall you fool"... Both words pronounced the same.

As in both pronounced as "fawh you fawh"

Paw is p-or
Pour is p-or
Pore is p-or
Poor is p-or.

where are you from simon? i'd say my friends from lancashire would totally agree with you!
