    I say aunt as in ant!

    Never heard rant as anything but rhyming with ant.

    Eh? Who says "rant" to rhyme with "taunt"?

    I say "auntie", not "aunt", and it rhymes with "Aren't we".

    I'm confused.

    Does the OP mean how do we say "aunt" ? ... because there is only one pronunciation of "rant" but there's a north/south divide of "aunt"..

    ANT

    Otherwise the word would be "raunt"

    I used to say arrtny and arrnt because I was born in Kent. But then moved to South Shields at 5 and forced myself to talk like the natives, so-to-speak. Had just about mastered it when we moved back down south for a year at age 7. Again adapted my accent then adapted it again when we moved back up north!

    Evil parents.
