[ QUOTE ]
a friend of mine pronounces horrible as whoreable, is this correct anywhere? [/ QUOTE ] These two words sound exactly the same to me. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I'm not sure what the difference is supposed to be. Do you not pronounce the first syllable of horrible as rhyming with store, bore, etc.?
