wait... foo in foobar isn't pronounced like foo in foot??
- seanthemon 3y agoIt is. Surely it is, right?
- AndyKluger 3y agoNot in New York, at least. Foo rhymes with Blue and Flu, while Foot rhymes with Soot and Put (same vowel sound as Book, Look, Cook, etc.).
- Hemospectrum 3y agoIn most English dialects, <foot> is pronounced /fʊt/, not /fut/. I’m not aware of any specific examples where <foo> and <foot> have the same vowel.
- lambda 3y agoWhat is your native language, and if English, what dialect? For me, the "foo" in "foobar" has the same vowel as "toot", which is different than "foot". Do "toot" and "foot" rhyme for you. I speak American English, from Boston/New England but without a strong Boston accent.
