American English aw and ah TIL in some areas of the US, people don't use the ɔ sound(aw as in the British way of saying hot ). Is this true? There is obviously a difference between the two sounds. Take the word "Law" for example, L(aw) and L(ah, ah as in father) don't sound the same? What's the most "legit" way to pronounce it (eg. General American accent)? Can someone clarify this for me?
