Ant or Ain’t.

I’m aware that neither are correct, but that’s how I said it when I was a kid and that’s what has stuck.

Ant.

I’m sure anyone who bought flowers for their ant put them in a vase (long a).

The ones who bought flowers for their ahhnt/auhnt put them in a vahhz.

I'm confused about that too. Must be a regional thing like baw?

Being white, I pronounce it “ant”.

Not claiming that is the correct pronunciation. But it is culturally correct for me.
