Re: Very detailed map of the North American dialects of Engl

I don't think so because it's round. It might be something gross like ɑ/ɒ/ɔ.

Re: Very detailed map of the North American dialects of Engl

Ugh I don't know. It's not a diphthong though. Possibly just /ɔ/ with some raising.

Re: ZBB accent archive

Nope, it's the lack of the word "on" in "on Wednesday". I just can't say "go do X Wednesday"; I have to say "go do X on Wednesday". It's this kind of thing where I find the text not quite dialect-neutral when I start not to trust it somewhat. Aha! Thanks. I had the same issue. I had to rerecord mys...
