Hi merch - welcome to AWADtalk!

I think I'm with WordWind, above, or at least one side of her family: I think I say "awwnt." However, before I saw that spelling, I would have rendered my pronunciation as "ahnt" - which might even be close to "ont," I don't know.

Eh, variety is the spice of life! and as wwh (Bill!) points out above, accents are only funny to people who've never been more than 100 miles from home. Such people are funny to those of us with "funny" accents who DO roam about a bit.

Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.
