socks an 'ah' sound and sucks has an 'uh' sound.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/l...art/chart.shtml
If you go to that link and go to the third one under the short sounds category that looks like an upside down 'v' you will hear the sucks sounds.
If you go to the forth one under short sounds that looks like a backwards 'a' you will hear the sock sound.
It is a very common error if English isn't your first language. |

Just wondering, do "cot" and "caught" sound the same to you?

Nope. cot- has an 'ah' sound to me and caught has an 'aw' sound to me. Why do you ask? |

and Lisa... I have said to you on multipule occoasions how strong your Long Island accent is...
im sure what you think of "ah" is very different than what my "ah" is.. I do think the way you wrote it here is correct, but I can hear you saying it and it'll sound way way different than if i did... |
