Henrik,
I didn’t mean <can’t> “kann nicht”, but <cant> “sich neigen, kippen” which
is /k&nt/ in RP. Where distinguishing <man> and <men> is called for, I’ve
heard [mE:n] vs. [me:n].

Yes. Although most will have learned RP, so unless they find it explicitly
cool to use 'American' pronunciation, the above would be: [ka:nt], [kEnt],
[kant]. With <man> vs. <men> Germans get the uncertain feeling that there
must be some difference between those ä sounds. :-P
