And this one was new to me! I did not know that all three of these words could be pronounced differently! They are all homophones in my accent, too.
This stuff makes me think of poor GB Shaw, who left a legacy in his will to make English spelling phonetic by creating a new alphabet. 😬 #linguistics

Great examples for English accent variation! I love how they both find words which are homophones in one accent but not the other. I'll post the other video in reply.
