| How are you pronouncing “yaht” ? I (American) would read “yaht” and “yot” exactly the same way. |

| This clarifies it I hope? It has audio & proper phonetic alphabet spelling for US vs UK. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/yacht |

| Assuming it's similar to "folly" vs. "foley". |

| ▲ | Koshkin 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Sure: “yaht” and “yot” sound virtually the same (at least in American English), only maybe slightly different in the length of the vowel; “folly” and “foley”, on the other hand, sound very different from one another. | | |
| ▲ | junon 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Yes, that is my point. "Yot" is pronounced differently (as in "foley") outside of America in a lot of cases. |
