Comment on Does the way you say 'France' rhyme with 'pants' or 'aunts'? How the Australian accent is changing

Yeah we need to resolve that first. Aunts are cool and take you to a theme park on summer break, whereas aunts don’t let you sit on the good furniture and the only candy they have are those lozenges with the wrapper that looks like a strawberry

As a General American speaker, all three of those are the same vowel for me, but I don't think that's true in a lot of the world (and also not in at least part of the US).

  For me it’s “AHnt” for Aunt, “frANce” for France, and “pANts” for pants.
