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.

I'm happy to say that I've been saying "tour" that way for year, but that's really simply more of a byproduct of my spending far too much time listening to Canadian Musicians.
