Re: Australian/British/American pronunciation differences

Yeah, but I was only considering two "general varieties" with their transcriptions, the ones you find in dictionaries. If you start to consider all the varieties, you'll never stop. I just noticed a mistake......I meant to write that in BrE it's more like /aʊ/.There sure are...
