memo

to: everyone
from: fox

please pronounce the word tour correctly. the vowel is the same as the vowel in lure, not the vowel in lore. (the same is true of sure, by the way -- it is not pronounced the same way as shore.) i know it's spelled just like four, which really does rhyme with lore -- sorry about that. but, please, from this language, what did you expect?

thank you.

Yes! Thank you ma'am.

Now can we start a drive to stop this abominable overuse and misuse of like? Please.
