[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don't know a single Laura that isn't pronounced Lore-ah. [/quote] They might pronounce it that way or they might be too polite to tell other people they are pronouncing it incorrectly. I have a both a relative and a good friend who tell people specifically that it is not pronounced as Lora or Lori. They were both born in the US, in the northeast. [/quote] In the northeast, where? I don't think we're talking about Laura, here. I think that we're talking about the mary/merry/marry distinction and/or the Florida orange/Flahrida ahrange accent.
