used for comic effect in programmes wishing to satirise 1950s social attitudes such as the Harry Enfield Show and its "Mr. Cholmondley-Warner" sketches. A few illustrative examples of changes in RP during the 20th century and early 21st are given below. A more comprehensive list (using the name 'General British' in place of 'RP') is given in Gimson's Pronunciation of English. Vowels and diphthongs Words such as , gone, off, often, salt were pronounced with instead of , so that often and orphan were homophones (see lot–cloth split). The Queen continued to use the older pronunciations, but it is now rare to hear this on the BBC. There used to be a distinction between horse and hoarse with an extra diphthong appearing in words like hoarse, , and pour. The symbols used by Wright are slightly different: the sound in fall, law, saw is transcribed as and that in more, soar, etc. as . Daniel Jones gives an account of the /ɔə/ diphthong, but notes "many speakers of Received English (sic), myself among them, do not use the diphthong at all, but replace it always by /ɔː/". The vowel in words such as tour, moor, sure used to be , but this has merged with for many contemporary speakers. The effect of these two mergers (horse-hoarse and 'moor - 'more') is to bring about a number of three-way mergers of items which were hitherto distinct, such as poor, paw and pore (, , ) all becoming . The vowel and the starting point of the FACE diphthong has become lowered from mid to open-mid . Before the Second World War, the vowel of cup was a back vowel close to cardinal but has since shifted forward to a central position so that is more accurate; phonemic transcription of this vowel as /ʌ/ is still common largely for historical reasons. There has been a change in the pronunciation of the unstressed final vowel of 'happy' as a result of a process known as happY-tensing: an older pronunciation of 'happy' would have had the vowel /ɪ/ whereas a more modern pronunciation has a vowel nearer to /iː/. In pronunciation handbooks and dictionaries it is now common to use the symbol /i/ to cover both possibilities. In a number of words where contemporary RP has an unstressed syllable with schwa , older pronunciations had , for instance, the final vowel in the following:
