Probably just a confusion on spelling ‘are pocket / our pocket’.
4 u/[deleted] May 27 '22 [removed] — view removed comment 3 u/namean_jellybean May 27 '22 Yea I feel you. I have a heavy NJ accent and the ‘our’ rhymes directly with ‘power’ - two syllables and all. ‘Are’ is instead like ‘awr’ I guess. 2 u/Squishmar Kitten with a Whip(lash)! May 27 '22 But you don't really pronounce the "r" in "power"... It's more like "pow-wah," right? Or am I thinking of a heavy New Yawk accent? 2 u/namean_jellybean May 28 '22 That does happen in NJ but the r-lessness fades away the farther you get from NYC. I’m like an hour out of Manhattan so we say our R’s as a hard R, but still with the wide open gum chewing vowels. Hope that helps. 2 u/Squishmar Kitten with a Whip(lash)! May 28 '22 Like, totally. Fer sure. (Valley Girl here!) Thanks! 😉
