re: #106 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

I recall that in British English “four” and “saw” rhyme, as does “Ride a cock-horse/to Banbury Cross”.

In my corner of the globe, whether “four” (or “faw”) and “saw” rhyme depends on whether the next word begins with a vowel or not. But then if you listen more closely, we may interpolate a soft “r” sound after “saw” if those situations. “I sawr another one.” And it gets curlier (or curlia) from there.

However, “horse” and “cross” only rhyme if you’re trying to sound like the last monarch. “May husband and Ay are very crawss about Anne’s hawss.”
