Do you say "oven" with the "o" as in "toe",

or do you say "oven" with the "o" as in "muff"?

Pleases respond. I needs it for a project.

Muff. And it's rare to hear me say that.

Muff for me too. I've had many an argument with the foolish toe types who frequent this end of the country.

Muff for me too, sounds wrong otherwise

Uven.

I can't imagine saying it any other way.

Uven.

Somewhere inbetween. And I've checked but BBC Pronunciation has no guidance for "oven".

Who on earth says ohven?

Uhven.

Yeah, I'm with the muffs too.

ah-vun for me

Right time for some threadjacking though at the risk of snubbing the admin I might say it's an improvement.

I have a new oven. It is nice because it has an oven and a microwave built in. This is all very well but it pisses me off in two ways.

Firstly, you can't set the oven temperature except in 25 degree increments. EVERYTHING I cook demands to be cooked at 190 degrees, and yet I am forced to go for 200. Same problem for the timer, which only goes on 15 second increments.

Secondly, the microwave part lets you set the wattage to cook at. This is all very well, but it doesn't actaully reduce the power at all. It simply cooks at max power and turns off the microwaving element every x seconds, which is of course not the same as cooking at a lower wattage.

Neither of these things should matter too much but I'm a real OCD type and these things bug the hell out of me.

Oh, Uven by the way. Like any southener!
