Ok not a fight per say but a major dissagreement... Drummer + bassist vs Guitars, with a singer feeding the fire

| | | According to Websters and Cambridge dictionaries as well as dictionary.com it is pronounced with an "oo" sound not an "oh" sound. Whoever said Too-er was correct. I checked five different dictionaries (hard copy and internet) and they all say the same thing.
Here is a link to the Cambridge online dictionary definition with audio samples (American and British) of the correct pronunciation,. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dict...british/tour_2
Cheers.

| | | | P.S. I am an American born and raised and I have been touring for 25 + years now all over the world. In all my travels I have never heard anyone anywhere refer to it as a "tore". Must be a regional dialect thing.
