Mine is people using are instead of our. I hear this all the time from social media, news reporters, and I see in in writing. Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

    “are” is a perfectly valid pronunciation of “our” I think, at least in some accents. Writing it as “are”, on the other hand does feel wrong.

      What is the correct pronunciation of our? Pronouncing the word “our” correctly is essential for non-native English speakers. To do so, start by forming your lips into a small “o” shape while slightly raising the corners of your mouth. Then, bring the tongue to the back of your mouth and create an “r” sound. Finally, round your lips into an “uh” sound.

        It’s commonly pronounced the same way as “hour.”

        Ow-er. Ow, as in ouch.
