[Opinions] Re: Colin/Collin
You've never heard caul-in? Maybe I didn't describe the pronunciation correctly because that's pretty much the only way I have heard it besides the way Colin Powell pronounces it. It sounds like Colin Firth, Colin Ferrell, Colin Hanks, etc.

Right, well I assume you mean CAH-lin. The word caul I pronounce CAWL. So I'm not sure if you're saying CAW-lin or you pronounce caul like CAHL. Either way must be an accent difference. I've never heard CAW-lin, if that's what you're going for. :)

In my accent, CAH-lin and CAWL-in are the same. "call" and "caul" are pronounced the same.
