Over 60 Years Old
2. What is your gender?

3. We're going to start with two ordinary words, "cot" and "caught." Do you think those words sound the same or different?
Same
Different
Same, no wait I mean different, well, I don't know...
4. What about "don" and "dawn"?
Same
Different
Same...ish. Maybe a little different.
5. OK, what about "stock" and "stalk"?
Same
Different
Almost, but not quite, the same
6. Now then how do "collar" and "caller" sound?
Same
Different
Almost, but not quite, the same
7. Do you think the word "on" rhymes with "dawn" or with "don"?
dawn
don
Well, I don't think don and dawn sound any different in the first place so on would obviously rhyme with both
8. Moving on, what do you think about "Mary," "merry," and "marry"?
All 3 sound different
Mary and merry sound the same but marry is different from them
All 3 sound the same
9. Our next word is "horrible." How does that first vowel sound?
It's just like in the word "whore."
It's the same "o" sound as in "hot."
Neither one
10. Now for "pen" and "pin." Don't worry about what others say is correct, just tell us how they come out in an ordinary conversation.
Same
Different
Close. Pen sounds almost, but not quite, like pin.
11. What about "feel" and "fill"?
Same
Different
Well, I think they're different even though they sound very, very similar almost to the point of being the same
12. When you say "about," does the "ou" sound like the "ou" in "loud"?
No
Yes
13. Last question. When you say "bag" does it rhyme with "vague"?
Yes
No
