sure

[Nightmare85]

Hello,
How do you pronounce sure?

Like: short -> [shur]
Or like: sort -> [sur]

I always thought [shur] was right...

Cheers!

/ ʃɔː / ie. as in short. [shor]
Some people say / ʃu:ə / [shur]
You might hear some people say /sju:ə/, but that sounds like an affectation. It's never /sɔː/

But that's an interesting transcription of the 'or' sound - /ur/ !
