Wow, this one if heavily dependent on regional dialects. What is the source, southern?
"For a clock" would be pronounced either "for aye clock" or "for uh clock", where I've lived, which has mostly be above the Mason-Dixon line. "Four o'clock" would be pronounced "for oh clock". I would never have gotten this because everywhere I've lived these would be pronounced differently.
I'm really curious where they're pronounced the same. I believe it, I must can't imagine the accent. Must be southern.
"four uh clock" is pretty standard for both 4:00 and for-a-clock where I am in the North-Western US.
Reduction to shwa!
One hundred percent southern
