Your voice is sooooooo sweet, sjm! You just post those mp3 files any ol' time you feel like it, whether talking about moths or baths or lathes or wraithes or anything at all.

I pronounce it to rhyme with math.
Reminds me of a Grouch movie in which his secretary comes in and says, "Are you ready for your next client now? Mr. Jennings is waxing wroth."
Groucho takes out his cigar, waggles his eyebrows, and rejoins, "Well, go back out there and tell Roth to wax Jennings for a while."
Too bad it was Jennings instead of Johnson!

Now don't be sticking no non-rhotic Rs in there without no sound files to be backing you up.

I pronounce it "rorth". "Roth" is wroth. Rath doesn't exist in my lexicon.
