Not sure what you're trying to say, but not a single one of those words pronounce the "wo" like it is in "women."

It seems to be closest to the i in fish -- hence the fun alternate spelling of photi

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ghoti is better (using the "gh" in "enough"), and yep.

Womb and women are pronounced the same (well, except the ending).
Unless it's a local dialect thing where "women" is pronounced "wimin"?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nobody I've ever heard pronounces it "woo-min", only "wimmin." Definitely not a local dialect.

[-] towerful@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Well, if you heard me, I pronounce "women" like "womb".
Maybe I have the local dialect.

Are you from PNW? I think I remember a video from reddit where someone said woo-min and a commenter said they're from there and say it like that.
