Welcome back Steve! As far as I know there are no rules or "correct" pronunciations in the English language, only generally accepted pronunciations which may vary by region. Right?

English is pretty whack, but I think a large part of the problem is that we've borrowed from many other languages. I'm not entirely sure, but I think that English is pretty unique in the level at which we do so. (Not sure if that last sentence was entirely grammatically correct. Feel free to tear it apart, because I am curious)

Low-key but fabulous. You're a great videomaker and I laughed a lot! I also take great pride in the fact that I can pronounce quite a few words better than a drunk American!

"aunt" rhymes with "can't"... to me, But neither rhymes with ant.

Welcome back bro. I still remember you from the is-is epidemic video you posted back in the day
You BUZZED your pronunciation of "aunt"...but I think you were correct. The ants may be aunts but my aunts are not ants. ;O) (lol drunk mode)

@dorotwhy i said it like "ont". in some parts of the US, we say "ahnt" but not quite "ont", so i decided to buzz it.
