I'm Australian, and for me "can" rhymes with "man" while "can't" rhymes with "aren't" (and so does "aunt"). But in American accents, "can't" rhymes with "ant", (and so does "aunt"), and to my ear rhymes with "can", and I often have great difficulty knowing which one people said. cheers chaals -- Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
