"Is it for a clock" sounds like he's asking "is it four o'clock"

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.

One hundred percent southern
