It does for me too, a native English speaker. She pronounces them differently. I think the "Cot Caught" merger is a fairly recent thing.

Established Titles is an interesting sponsor for this because, of course, Scottish English accents are basically the only English accents outside of North America that have the "cot-caught merger" that this video relies on. People from, say, England and Australia cannot relate to these specific examples at all, because "boss" and "uhh" have completely different vowels for us.

[@PrimroseFrost]

Funny thing is, she wasn't displaying a full cot-caught merger. (Aside from "pah" vs. "possum", but that one she actually said both as "paw" for some reason?) Look at her mouth with the "ah" sounds, where her lips are unrounded, vs the "aw" (words with o) sounds where they are rounded. They are, in fact, different vowels.

[@MusicalJackknife]

Glad I found someone else mentioning the merger! There's also the father/bother merger so that some accents have 3 distinct vowels (fAther, bOther/cOt, cAUght), while mine basically has just one.

[@joebuck7714]

I will never understand how people don't hear the differences in vowel sounds. In my accent (Southwest Scotland) its super obvious that Ah is not the same vowel sound as in boss and cost, but I can hear it in this skit too in Julie's dialect. But apparently lots of other people (including Julie) can't. I always joke with my wife (Southern accent) that she only uses three vowel sounds, each at least four syllables long whereas I use 26 vowel sounds most of which barely qualify as a single syllable. Which kinda proves the point that the English language is insane.

[@kingbeauregard]

Gonna nerd out for a second ... the fact that our spelling is only semi-phonetic is a blessing. Pronunciations differ from place to place, and if we committed to spelling everything phonetically, we would transcribe people differently based on their accents. It would be a huge mess. Yeah, English spelling has a lot of consistency problems, but its loose commitment to phonetic accuracy isn't one of them. Will add that I pronounce the vowel in "boss" a little differently than "ah", but not so as it makes a difference to comprehension. The two different sounds are part of the same phoneme, which is to say, collection of similar sounds that serve the same role in a language. Okay, nerding over. You may reach through your screen and dump my books.

[@literaterose6731]

Excellently explained! I don’t know if you’re already familiar with Corrections, but you’d make an awesome jackal. 🧐🐾

[@lizzalkula376]

you can see this phonetic thing in older writing; say 1500s to about 1800s before there was a more standardization. "To take grease out of parchement or paper Take shepes burres & burne them to pouder and laye the saide pouder on bothe sydes the parchment or paper betwene two paper bourdes & presse them by the space of two dayes or more, and it will drye & soke out all the grease. (The arte of Limming, 1573)" for example. then you have the great vowel shift that happened between 1400 and 1700 and then you have the making of the Webster Dictionary that was published in 1828 - this is the one that changed a lot of our writing from the British versions (z instead of s/ switched re to er / removed the u in some words [ie: colour] / and others) as well as - this one I'm not entirely sure if it was Webster and the dates but at one point English language decided it wanted to go back to some of the more Latin (and Greek?) spellings of things so on some words it added in letters to make them sound more, well, posh for lack of a better word. That's why some of our words that seems like that shouldn't have these 'silent' letters, *have* the silent letters. I can't think of a direct example but if I do (and remember about this comment) I'll add it here.

[@kingbeauregard]

@@lizzalkula376 I think the "b" in "doubt" was added so as to look more Latin, something like that? I also know that either "rhythm" or "rhyme" got its spelling changed to look more like the other, even though there is no etymological connection between the two [citation needed].

[@kingavenuemusic]

IMO the length is the most important different, although depending on the dialect, "ah" and "boss" might actually be slightly different sounds. But in most dialects (I think), "ah" is a long vowel and "boss" is a short vowel. We don't talk much about long and short vowels in English, and the distinctions are almost nonexistent in many cases nowadays, but they were actually really important to spelling and grammar in older versions of English (as well as other languages, like German).

[@kingbeauregard]

@@kingavenuemusic Well I'm sitting here saying "ah" and "boss" over and over like a doofus so I can pay attention to what I'm doing, and I can quite confident that the sound in "boss" is more like "aw", but even then not exactly the same. But that's simply how I've learned to speak English; other people have learned other ways.
