I am not familiar with an American regional accent where the vowel in wrath and beth are pronounced the same. I am very well traveled across the USA. If there was something like that, l'd guess it would be in New England but I can't place it. Is there anything like that in Australian accents or New Zealand? Or anywhere in the UK?
I haven't travelled the US like you have, but thanks to the Dutch habit of adding subtitles to movies and tv shows in stead of dubbing them in our own language, I've been listening to American English from virtually every part of the country since my parents got their first television set. Ask any Dutchman to write down cat phonetically and he'll write ket. However, didn't say that bath and beth sounded exactly the same, I said that "the difference between bath and beth is more in the length of the vowel than in its actual sound.". To me, the American soundbite in the link I provided earlier sounds very much like wreth, very much, but like with bath and beth, not exactly.

I'm with Buz on this - wrath, bath, math, hath, cat, etc. But that brings up the question, is it Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, or Star Trek II: the Wroth of Can?
I agree. But in all those words the A sounds like the E in get. Cat and ket sound the same to me, and the difference between bath and beth is more in the length of the vowel than in its actual sound.

America is a large country. I can imagine that a Texan would pronounce it differently than a Bostonian. As far as I know the US do not have something similar to standard English, so I think there is no standard American pronunciation for wrath, or any word for that matter.

I'm trying to imagine how an American would say wrath. I agree, this is neither the A in cat nor the O in moth. I don't think there is an equivalent vowel sound in English.

The Americans I heard use it pronounced it like wreth, as in Beth
Found a site where it's pronounced both the British and the American way:

I have never heard anyone pronounce wrath with the A in standard English bath.

I've been searching my memory, and I think you're right. It's the same A as in bath, but shorter and sharper, and it almost sounds like the O in worth. It's still an ah sound though, to my ears at least.
Edit: the words that sound closest to it that I can come up with are "what" and "Watt"

Drinks are on me for the next 3 days. Figured the people where would be especially interested in this thread:
https://www.lushstories.com/forum/yaf_postsm2908200_Awesome-Award-11618-GreenMan.aspx#2908200
for the record, just so you know exactly how awesome Larry is, when it was suggested in the backroom that he be awarded this, a large portions of the modding team jumped in and pretty much made me do it. so, a personal note - hope you're feeling the love, Larry, cause there's a lot of it coming at you.
A perfect choice. Not just because of his writing, which btw isn't just awesome for its volume, but even more so for its quality, but also for who he is as a person and as a friend.
I'll have a coffee please

Congratulations Larry. If anyone deserves it, you do. Not only for all your achievements as an author and poet I admire, but even more for who you are for those around you, especially for those who needed caring arms to hold them and a strong shoulder to rest their head on.

Do you mean the northern English bath? If you mean standard English then that would be a third way.
I mean like in Bath in Somerset, bath(tub) and path, and Darth (Vader). I guess that is a third way. That's how I've heard it pronounced by Brittons. Wroth is an archaic form of the word and I did hear Americans pronounce it like the A in bad.

Hello everyone. Late afternoon here and the weather's calm now after some hail and thunder that occured, of course, right when I had to be outside. Survived though and now I'm just relaxing a bit.
-21°C, that's cold Larry. Any puppy that braves that deserves an extra bone.
Hi Tonya, I wouldn't mind a bit of cold or even some snow. Anything's better than this extended autumn we're having here.
Rump, I need to warm up my bones and lubricate my joints. A Jen's Jolter please

Quote by OceanGoddessI would agree if the sex was a reward or a compensation for the money and time the gentleman (or lady) spent on entertaining you, but if it happens because there is genuine mutual attraction it's not prostitution at all.
First I don’t need the money. Second, if I was bought it would definitely be prostitution but how many of us women after an evening of dinner, drinks and dancing have fallen into bed with our companion! Isn’t the concept of dating with the gentleman paying in itself prostitution? Just a thought that’s bothered me from time to time

Hi Lacy,
1. I quite like the idea of a Stranger / Unexpected category. Seduction would fall into the Love Stories category.
2. You want to be able to sort your friend's list in a variety of ways? Date added, alphabetical, freeform?
3. Unlikely to be a server issue, we now have unlimited bandwidth and a 100mbit connection. A website won't dump you offline anyway, you might get a browser freeze, but viewing a site has nothing to do with your internet connection. Does it happen to you a lot? Where, in chat only? How old is your pc? You might want to upgrade java and run a virus checker over it.
Thanks for the feedback.
Nicola
I would love the possibility to sort my friends list like that. I like to have them sorted alphabetically, but I have no computer access at the moment and I can't drag and drop on my android
While I'm at it, is it possible to create a more advanced forum search, that allows to limit the search to a forum section, likevfor instance the Think Tank, or a specific thread?

I wil never understand the callousness of people who pollute our oceans and lakes! If you could just witness firsthand it would make you sob
I am convinced the majority of this planet's population does not realise how the waste they dump affects the ecosystems that keep them alive. Education is probably the most effective instrument against polution, but that requires support from governments and authorities on every level. Sadly, the corporate world has much influence there, and their objectives are often incompatible with environmental interests.
