Australian English has one word with /Q:/ in it: `gone'. Dictionaries
that
use the IPA, too scared to admit long-short distinctions when they're
there, give the pronounciation as /gOn/, but it by no means rhymes
with
either `born' or `tonne'. And it's not going out of use.

Hmm, my Macquarie dict., which represents general Australian
pronounciation with IPA has /gQn/ for it, but the dictionary doesn't
make length distinctions for any words anyway..
Imperative
