"Poor" isn't pronounced the same by everyone around the United States. In the midwest most pronounce it phonetically like "Poo-r", not "Pour".
Even at my dealer most of the employees there say "Pour" "sh" without pronouncing the e at the end. It's really hard for me to get out of that habit myself. I'd say at least 90% of people in the US don't pronounce the e, even though that's the proper pronunciation. I'd go so far as to say in the US, either is correct.

Then why say it Wrong to begin with? I don’t mean to be “that guy” and don’t feel pompous or elitist by saying it correctly but also not by educating like on this post.Same. The worst is when I say "Porsh" and someone corrects me.
Because more people think I'm saying it wrong when I pronounce the "e" than when I don't. It's a lose-lose!Then why say it Wrong to begin with? I don’t mean to be “that guy” and don’t feel pompous or elitist by saying it correctly but also not by educating like on this post.
