• Singaporeans pronounce flour as /flɑ:/ instead of /flaʊ-ə/. The dictionary says that both American and British pronunciation is /flaʊ-ə/.

Singaporean teachers pronounce and teach their pupils to pronounce flour as / flɑ:/. And in an oral examination, if this word appears in the reading passage, the pupils who pronounce it correctly are penalised.

---- I'd like native speakers from England, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to post in to prove me right.

@TheSpeaknoevil agreed. Your point?

[TheSpeaknoevil]

@DANNUSGAM - Thank you for your response. I'm collecting responses and send them to the Education Ministry which has given short shrift to the prevalence of teachers whose English is "half-baked". The teachers have always reminded their pupils to do their KORrection, and if they want to meet a parent, they say: "Ask your mother come to school." If they are not cooking, they say: "We shall eat outside today". Worst of all, a kindergartern kid is taught to pronounce banana as "burn-nah-nah'.
