Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name?

You might have a fair point but who the fuck in the US pronounces it “Bahb”.
Lmao I don’t know why I find it funny.
Just said “hi bahb” to my grandfather bob and he told me he was going to disinherit me. But I digress I don’t know the phonetic symbols either.
The ahh sound is pretty common in New England accents I’m pretty certain. Goin to the ha-bah this sum-ah (harbor this summer).
Many of us don’t pronounce Rs completely, and vowel sound have a slight adjustment. Bob, and Bahb, is such a small change, but saying Bob in Maine or Boston, I totally hear it, Bahb. Yeah, I totally understand what OP means.

Not if you’re from Bahstahn.
