Is this the "equivalent" of pronouncing the word wash as "wore-sh"?
Help me out, s'il you bitte, musick. Do you mean that for you the vowel sounds in "wash" and "horse" are the same? That would make "horse" into "hoss", here at any rate. The reason horse and sauce rhyme here is because, we don't pronounce "r" much. This was a conscious decision on our part, done to provide amusement for the overly rhotic, especially those who know what paua are.
