语境与语域Context & Register

发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words share the final stressed syllable /ˌwɑtɚ/ ('-water') with the target, so they rhyme in General American (cot–caught merger). Note that words like 'daughter' and 'slaughter' can also rhyme when pronounced with /ɑ/, but their spelling '-ghter' does not match '-water'; conversely, a lookalike such as 'watcher' /ˈwɑtʃɚ/ sounds different because of the /tʃ/.
