So, funny: Wiki sez that the cot vowel is "(/ɒ/ in New England /ɑː/ elsewhere)".

@aediaλ Yeah.
I have no /ɒ/, even in CLOTH. Only /ɔː/.

It's funny to me because I think I perceive the prestige dialect in my area to still not merge caught-cot, but to use /ɒ/ for caught and /ɑː/ for cot actually, so that when I use /ɔː/ for caught, it's still more rounded than what I try for if I try to sound... educated?
My normal speech has /ɔː/ in CLOTH yeah.

Oh, nearly same accent as me. No diffs, really.
Went out with someone from Rochester once, and it was identical as far as I could tell.

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Try the lists of homophonous pairs in the articles like these. I mean, if you think you have a merger. I guarantee you'll either learn something or go nuts.

@tchrist I'm getting numbers between 50 and 75 for injured, but only 2 confirmed dead.
tchrist

Less terrible. The dumb NYPost had 12 dead.
They’re a tabloid.
But the count may go up, and some may perish who yet linger.

Some of the "injured" include those with lost limbs; some of them might die.

Q: To Hold Victories

NPR just said 2 confirmed dead, at least 87 injured. That is probably reliable.
