Apologies for contributing to YAEPT, but I'm curious... I'm one of
those Pacific Coast speakers, and I'd like to know what vowel values
you have for Mary, Marry, and Merry.
Do you also have distinct vowels in Caught vs Cot? They both have [A]
for me, but I'm told it's more common to have [O] and [A],
respectively.
