    Most often say "I've 'bean' to the wherever" -- and I am a native English speaker. Yes, I have said 'bin' there but usually I fully articulate the verb.

    Judging by pronunciation guides in dictionaries including the Oxford I must say I have "bin" to the store.

    I suppose it is best to stick to the local vernacular. Yes, I've heard lots of people say 'bin' for the past tense of 'be' -- I'm not accusing you or them of mispronunciation.

    I usually say tuh-mey-toh, (tomato). But born many years ago, (as I was), an anglophone Montrealer, I still occasionally say tuh-mah-toh.

    I have to disagree with several. A word spelled fone? Old and ode do not sound the same to me. Spear and spare? Fluor is a root word.

    I was on another site where a member was asking "witch cartridge should I buy" and I wanted to correct to which cartridge.

    Say, there's another one: poor & pore. Pore, of course, has two meanings, one a verb as in "poring over a document", the other a noun as in the skin feature.

    Best of luck to all the new immigrants and visitors to this country trying to learn English. All the examples we have shown makes it tough to learn.

    Sorry, can't buy into "poor" and "pour" being pronounced the same.

    "Poor" rhymes with boor or moor.

    "Pour" rhymes with boar (or bore, whichever you prefer) or roar

    Sorry but I do not hear a difference. He is so poor he does not have a pot to piss in or a window to pour it out.

    It seems to several acceptable pronunciations. Both seem to be accepted.

    See pour and poor definitions/pronunciations.

    Heck, a goodly portion of the local population around here pronunce "axe" and "ask" the same.
