Luzianne

Drama: dramma or drawma?

Taco: tacko or tocko?

Vietnam: vietnamm or vietnom? (names of nations can sometimes depend on the individual)

Mazda: mazzda or mawzda? (also a name, though)

Pasta: past-a or paw-sta?

Lana: lanna or lawna?(Names of people, places and things depend on how the person himself/herself pronounces it, like Rihanna pronunces her name as Rih-ANN-na, despite many thinking it's Rih-AWN-na.)

Macho: matcho or motcho?

Some words like Tomato also vary from person to person. I say To-MA-to, someone else may say To-MAW-to. Not all english words, but some. Sometimes you may also hear it differently due to the speaker's accent.

Supposedly Canadians are more likely to say the "aa" instead of the "aw"
