again can't My English teacher used to correct me all the time I said can't as kæ̱nt, she says kɑːnt is the right choice, as we're learning GB Eng. I wonder if the English pronounce it that way?

Teacher Re: again can't Some American accents use /kæ̱nt/. English people and most others would say /ka:nt/ (or /kɑːnt/, if you like).

Teacher Re: again can't These are all American. The vowel is the same in 'can' and 'can't' in American. /kæ̱n/ /kæ̱nt/ Originally Posted by duiter
Elsewhere, it's /kæ̱n/, /ka:nt/ as in carnt (without pronouncing the r).
