Yeah, rounding /A/'s in rAw, dOll, cAll, fAther or mOm is so gross, so Valley girlesque LOL

I've noticed that in UK they pronounce DUCE as JUICE. in US, it's DOOS, much closer to the original.

I'm having difficulty believing that anybody can find either rounded or unrounded vowels "disgusting" or "gross". If you did, you'd presumably pronounce them ALL the same way. Find me an example of somebody that does and I'll believe you. <<I've noticed that in UK they pronounce DUCE as JUICE.>> /'du:tSe:/ That's when we talk about him, which is rarely.

The guest probably meant: Deuce, which is pronounced Juice in UK, but Doos in the US. At Wimbledon, RP should be used, but it is always JUICE, JUICE and JUICE lol
