I pronounce "aunt" correctly (in my view, anyway -- it's NOT "ant"), but I know that's unusual/regional. I had no idea that those three words above could be pronounced the same, however!!

- I pronounce them all the same, like "marry".
- I've always thought of "ahnt" as a pronunciation common to African-Americans, like aksk.

There was a song either by Eminem or D-12 about it, too.
