Pronunciation

[edit]

I'm sure there must be regional American accents where these words do not rhyme, but "straws" and "claws" rhyme with "Oz" for me (speaking with a Canadian accent). How are these three words pronounced so that they don't rhyme? Adam Bishop 03:35, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that they rhyme no matter what your accent is. The words with which Oz doesn't quite rhyme for me are the la-di-dahs, tra-la-las and "brahz" but I can see that they do rhyme with Oz for a lot of English-speakers so that's okay. -- Derek Ross | Talk 20:39, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
