Homophones: one/won

[HeShouldKnowBetter]

Is it just my accent that makes them sound different?

It is moan about school night here obviously!

Different in my accent. I think they sound the same when they are both pronounced a bit like Juan, which some people do.

I'm northern. They are different to me. ie wonn and wunn.

they sound the same in my accent.

One is a homophone for wan in my accent (v mild Midlands).

Ditto Hmm, I have one and wan as homophones, not won (which sounds like wunn when I say it).

I didn't realise I still had any midland accent! :o

They would be the same in a Yorkshire accent I think, but not in mine (lancashire)

They are deffo homophones. I could give you a long convoluted story about my job and out myself or just say 'they are pronounced the same' - 'one macro' mean anything to anybody?

1 1 was a race horse
2 2 was one too
1 1 won a race one day
2 2 1 1 2

We had this in Ds's homework - also 'are' and 'hour'. How the buggery balls do they sound the same? Not round here anyway!!

Agree - 'one' and 'won' do NOT sound the same!!

People who live in Downtown Abbey I believe HumpdaySelfie. DS and I don't. Nor do any children in his class as far as I'm aware :-)

One & won certainly homophones. I know dialect can give regional variations but dictionary definitions give the pronunciation as identical.

Hour & are - no way, José!

I remember getting lost when I was little because I was meant to meet my brother in ourprice, but I hadn't realised it was spelt with an o as it was also said as are-price.

In Manchester our and are are often homophobes. And won and one are completely different.

*always said

Also, there's the whole 'our kid' said as 'are kid' thing.

I'm from East Mids.
Won and one are homophones.
Our and are are also homophones here.
Hour and are - definitely not!

I would say won and one as the same.

I would say are as r, our/hour as ower (not ohwer but ow as in owch). I am a southerner brought up by geordies.

I always wondered about poor and pour as some people say them the same but in the north east it is more pooer and I used to get teased for saying it wrong down south so I think I just say it oddly.

One, won = wun
Wan = won to rhyme with on

Not here in Lancashire they're not, but remember friends saying them the same when I lived in the midlands.

North East here and they are not the same won is pronounced wun. However we may not be in the majority here a lot of Julia Donaldsons rhymes dont make sense here scarf and laugh in the stickman for instance!

South east here (and a bit posh) one and won are the same.

I'm also of the view that hour is only one syllable, but it is not a homophone of are

"Paw", "poor" and "pour" are exactly the same to me, as are "our" and "are", both said "ar" but not hour which I would say "Ow - er". (Non-specific southern accent)
