    Hey its not the worst word to get mixed up. Theyre barsly distinct in my accent with only a slightly harder T in profit being the notable difference. But then again I say wader so perhaps I aint the most valid example.

          That’s certainly strange. Especially to someone like me who doesn’t have an accent (/s I’m from where the tv accent actually is from). That said it’s hard to actually picture that

              Nah Cincinnati. They used to send newscasters there because it’s a particularly neutral accent. And thanks that actually helps a lot
