Reply to comment by szyzk in Survey on Pennsylvania Dialect (“cot” and “caught”) by pretty_hooligan

I mean, I don’t say it like a Bostonian would say “cwawfee”.

But for me, cot rhymes with hot, and the vowel in caught is like “law”. Just like “law” and “hot” have different vowel sounds for me, so do “caught” and “cot”.
