we have this as NOOR-mun-tun on SOOR. Is that correct? kwami (talk) 07:44, 18 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yep, i'm a little unsure of the /əʊr/, it should be /ɔː/. And the /ɔ/ in the "on" could easily be a schwa. - Francis Tyers · 15:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. /ɔː/ (/ɔər/) as in four, or /ɔː/ (/ɔr/) as in for? kwami (talk) 02:37, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Four / for are pronounced the same for me (and people from the area), so it should probably be /ɔː/ (/ɔr/) as in for. - Francis Tyers · 10:06, 15 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

What about Londoners? Or isn't there a set RP ? kwami (talk) 22:12, 15 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well, of course, Londoners have many many accents, and the majority do not speak RP. Regardless, pretty much all of them (modern RP speakers included) would pronounce 'four' and 'for' the same (as /ɔː/ (/ɔr/)). --Wytukaze (talk) 23:10, 2 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Not sure why you guys went to the trouble of having this conversation and then using the wrong one on the page, but Longman's backs up the Brit on saying there's no schwa there. —
