How do you personally pronounce "aunt?"

My husband and I have been arguing about this very issue. I say "ant" and he says "ont." My husband thinks it is because I am from up north and he is from the south. Truth be told, we live in the south now and everyone says "ont." I wonder if it has anything to do with it.

I never really feel comfortable calling my aunts ants. I guess because they always corrected me when I was little when I called them ant. So, I just rather say aunt or auntie.

They shouldn't correct you. Either is perfectly fine. I say "aunt" like "ont".

I actually don't say aunt but auntie pronounced "anty"

We say ant or anty. Growing up, we were taught to say ant and never even heard of anty. After I had children, my inlaws started having the kids call them anty and now some of them still do. I don't think any one way is the correct way and no one should correct you.

I pronounce it like anty, like most people probably do :)

I was raised half on the East Coast and half on the West Coast and have Aunt's on both. So my East Coast Aunts are "ont Jean, ont Ellen, ont Bea, ont Leatrice" and my West Coast Aunts are "ant Barb, and ant Mary." It's a cultural difference - no real right or wrong and I don't think that it's polite to correct how someone else pronounces it.

i usually say auntie so ant or anty
