    In IPA, "caught" is /kɔt/ and "cot" is /kat/. They are pronounced differently and Meowy's claim that no one differentiates between the two is provably false.

    Anybody who pronounces two completely different words the exact same way is obviously wrong.

    Hope this helps.

      I pretty much say everything how it is phonetically and without an accent.

        I'm in NY and aught in caught is pronounced the same as aught in Double Aught Buckshot.

    It is IPA. If you want to understand the noises they make, this website is rather handy:

    Just click on the letters in the chart, and they'll make their noises.

      I know some people who pronounce Egg as Aig.

      Once while I was in Canada a waitress asked me how I wanted my Bahdada. I didn't know what the fuck she was talking about. My friends had to explain it to me.

    American, don't deliniate. No one in any English speaking place does either.

          Interestingly enough, "thot" is pronounced /θɔt/, rather than /θat/.

              "Thought" and "thot" are pronounced the same for me, while "caught" and "cot" are not. I feel as though I have a generic American accent, though "generic American" isn't exactly the most specific. I'm from the North-Florida/South-Georgia region (which is effectively one region when it comes to accent, culture, and television channels).
