Help[Opinions] Re: Torrie/Tori
in reply to a message by queenv
I don't like the spelling Torrie simply because according to Australian English phonetics, Torrie should be TO-ree, not TAW-ree which I imagine is how you're pronouncing it. Tori and Torie, because they have one 'r', are pronounced TAW-ree, the same as the syllables in Victoria (vik-TAW-ree-uh).

I don't think there's any difference for many Americans.

Agree
At least for me. I'd pronounce Torrie and Tori the same (TOR-ee). Which are also pronounced the same as Tory, and the end of Victoria (vik-TOR-ee-uh).

Ditto, I was just about to say the same thing.
Except without the reference to Australian phonetics! Torrie looks like it should rhyme with lorry to me, whereas Tori would be like Tory as in the political party.
