How do you pronounce it...
this is something Mary Anne (Animal) and I joke about all the time so I want to ask you guys. How do you pronounce it, aunt or ant? I sound it out like ant, as do a lot of people I know, she pronounces it aunt. So how do you?
Sorry if this has been posted/asked before, I miss all the good topics  |

Oddly enough....the only people that I've ever heard pronouce it differently from Ant in the US were the black people....so I thought it was just their version of it. I'm so stupid..........  |
