Heard on The Judges: How to spell the BE pronunciation of _whore_

[Wilson Gray]

Twenty-something black female speaker:

"He scratched [hoU] on the back of my car! Spelt it H-O-E! I'm pretty
sure that it's spelled W-H-O-'-E!"


FWIW, me, too.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint
to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
