Pronunciation & Spelling
In American English, job /dʒɑːb/, rob /rɑːb/, and swab /swɑːb/ rhyme with the stressed syllable -dʒɑːb; in British English these have /ɒb/ and do not rhyme. barb /bɑːb/ rhymes only in non-rhotic (British) accents; in American it is /bɑːrb/. Be careful: cab and lab end in -ab but are pronounced /kæb, læb/, not /ɑːb/.
