Do you have an example accent/dialect? I'm honestly curious, because I can't think of any... but then I'm neither a Brit nor an American, so... :)

- adastra22 3y agoI’m a California native. “Hour” in my dialect is like “ow-er” where the first sound is like the beginning of “ouch!” but it is distinctly two sounds. “Our” is a single sound very close to “are”.
- Quekid5 3y agoThank you, I think I "hear" it with your explanation! Shades of Irish in that one. Also, I'm suddenly reminded of the complete reverse, "Aaron earned an iron urn" meme for some random reason :)
- adastra22 3y agoHuh, I’d never heard that one! There may be some truth to the Irish influence. On the US generally (more people of Irish descent than Ireland itself), and California specifically as a lot of transcontinental railroad workers settled here.
