You'll like this poem:

The start of it:

Gerard Nolst Trenité - The Chaos (1922)

Dearest creature in creation Studying English pronunciation, I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.

I will keep you, Susy, busy, Make your head with heat grow dizzy; Tear in eye, your dress you'll tear; Queer, fair seer, hear my prayer.

I like what you did there, and I get it, but, I don't hear "are" when I see our, I hear "hour".

Now I'm just curious which is more common.

[-] nogooduser@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

We would definitely pronounce our as “are” in some cases., usually when referring to a person. “Our kid” or “Our Jack” would have been pronounced “are”.

Must be a regional thing because for me “our” always sounds like “hour” no matter what

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

For me, I think it just depends. Kind of like how "the" can be "thee" or "thuh" depending on how much I'm enunciating.

Not gon lie, but i have no idea what this reads. I can maybe make sense of the "Gramm her" part reading as "Grammar" but not much beyond that 😅
