Pronouncing "or" and "oar" the exact same way isn't right. Seriously, this isn't me being Scottish and weird, that really is just plain not how the words are supposed to sound.

Try book and look. Had many nights discussing that look and luck. Can sound the same.

WTF? My head feels like it's going to fall off with the confusion of trying to figure out how you weirdoes pronounce whore! It's like sore, only with a wee windy sounding w at the start (may also be known as an h followed by an o), or who-er, if you are being particularly exuberant about it.
I can't believe you mentals pronounce so many words the same. How you do you understand each other? You may as well be going blah blah blah xbox blah blah olympic games blah blah blah tube.

As I said earlier, pronunciation is by consensus. It's pronounced the way people say it. It appears so far that the consensus is that 'haw' and 'whore' are pronounced the same if you're English, differently if you're Scottish.

It's probably a compliment.

Probably.

The wife has shown me how 'sore' and 'saw' can be pronounced differently, and the same for the other words we talked about.

She's Irish though, so is probably wrong (but I do now at least understand where you're coming from).

Scots. Although it's more a mixture of English, Scots, Cant, Ayrshire & a tiny bit of Gaelic.

Think how my family talk to each other, particularly me & my faither. That's how I *think* & increasingly so since I've hardly needed to speak or write in pure English for the last few years.

The fact that you said it doesn't make it right. This entire discussion is evidence of that.

Of course it does! Thinking that it doesn't is clearly where you're going wrong, you filthy haw.

For Gods sake, no-one ask how that is pronounced.

So, we paid the letting agent a security bond for previous house. This went into a deposit protection scheme. The deposit protection scheme thinks this amount is £50 less than what we paid. I've emailed the landlord, asking him if I should contact them about this error.

I don't know, to be honest. I'm not surprised, but an MP is going to get an email. Possibly the Telegraph and Argus as well.

He's selling the CD with it on,

It's a bit like a linux distro being free to download, but you pay for the cd/dvd.
or Like a PD company selling a disk with freeware on it.

Knowledge of pork pies is instinctive in some people. When they are born, they're afraid of loud noises, will cry when hungry or cold, and know about pork pies. It's in their DNA.
