| These two words are SO NOT said the same way!!!! You don't pronunce and "w" sound in the word "Flour". If you do, your saying it wrong. Flour is said with the two sounds Fl - our where as "Flower" is said using the sounds Fl - ow - er. The trip I think it the pronciation of our. I prenounce our more like the sound "ahh" and less like "ower". |

| Martin, where are you from? Judging from the spelling mistakes you've made [e.g. "prenounce" (wrong) instead of "pronounce" (correct)], I'm guessing that you are not a Native English speaker, i.e. that you're neither from USA, Canada or UK. Are you from Singapore? Most Singaporeans tend to pronounce "flour" as "flah," rather than "flower." |

| I take issue with your insinuation that Singaporeans are not "native english speakers." Sure, Singlish predominates in Singapore, but there are Singaporeans who can speak and write standard english. Don't over-generalise when you refer to a country's population. |

| The two words are pronounced very much the same way. It's very true that most Singaporeans and Malaysians for that matter mispronounce the word as "Flah.' You never hear it said this way in the UK, whatever the accent. Can't be sure how most Americans and Canadians say it. |
