This is an interesting case because they’re phonemically the same (long-I, L, schwa, V) but may be realised differently phonetically depending on your accent†.

This is an interesting case because they’re phonemically the same (long-I, L, schwa, V) but may be realised differently phonetically depending on your accent†. I bring this up because I’ve always wanted to be able to tell speech recognition systems specific features of my accent, say through a series of questions (“Do you pronounce ‘cot’ and ‘caught’ the same or differently?”, &c.) in addition to ML training, because as it is, they persistently mix up certain words—“I’ll” and “all”, for instance. † With “isle of”, I have two syllables and a velarised (“dark”) L in “isle”, a mid-central vowel (/ə/) in “of”; with “I love”, I have one syllable in “I”, a non-velarised (“light”) L and an open-mid back unrounded vowel (/ʌ/) in “love”.
