I like what you did there, and I get it, but, I don’t hear “are” when I see our, I hear “hour”.

Now I’m just curious which is more common.

We would definitely pronounce our as “are” in some cases., usually when referring to a person. “Our kid” or “Our Jack” would have been pronounced “are”.

  Must be a regional thing because for me “our” always sounds like “hour” no matter what

    For me, I think it just depends. Kind of like how “the” can be “thee” or “thuh” depending on how much I’m enunciating.
