Arrrg! I hate vowels. They're impossible to compare by using "standard" English words. As far as I can tell from listening to my own pronunciations, "father," "cot," and "caught" all rhyme perfectly. Only "cut" sounds different. I hate it when foreign-language books use English words to show how vowels should sound... -- Arthaey
