HelpRe: Orson
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
The way I speak, there's a big difference between the O sound in "boat" or "cone" and the vowel sound in "bought".

Is there as big a difference between the O sound in "sort" and the AW in "sawn"?
There is a huge difference between "loan" and "lawn" for me, too, but a smaller one when there's an OR.
It seems to be mostly names with OR that are getting marked "AWR."
Still, OR and AWR are different and I say O for most or-names. I have trouble distinguishing in some of them though - like, Boris and Corinne and Loretta seem more like AW when I say them.

A slight difference between "sort" and "sawn", but very slight.

Same here. They sound nothing alike to me.
