Re: HUMOUR: Pronounce This...

I only got about two-thirds of the way through the
poem, but I caught three things:
-It has "wind", which differs depending upon meaning
-I believe "aunt" has two valid dialectic
pronunciations (I'm /ant/ (help with the X-SAMPA?)
rather than /{nt/ .)
-I rhyme "bury" with "jury", even though I know that
the town of Bury, England is homophonous with "berry".
