    I grew up in an area that pronounces water “wuhter”

    the linguist in me wants to to make a map of how everyone pronounces wohter now

      that would be a good map. Especially if you had the IPA on it

        done properly you could probably trade it for some kind of linguistics degree at a university. i do love making mockery of processes.
