    Dayum, what are the options with scallop? Is that the a you can pronounce as in that, hot or must? Which is the right one?

      Most Americans pronounce the a as in “at” or “as,” Massholes (and some other new englanders) pronounce the a as in “awe” or “awl”

      The right one is the one that people in your region are used to. As a descriptivist, I believe that as long as people understand what you’re saying, there’s no wrong way to pronounce a word
