this is so cool! may i chime in?
the world of english speakers is divided between those who distinguish
between the vowel sounds in ''lot'' and ''thought'', and those who don't.
hence the glory/lorry/sorry/lori phenomenon.
as a matter of fact, i would love to conduct a little survey among you
''natives''.
if you want to participate, reply privately [somehow, i don't think that
this topic has a lot of potential for a thread...] my project is about vowel
sounds and regions. are you willing to complete a short questionnaire for
me?
wallyK, quite the phonetician
