Cindy, surely you can't be surprised to discover an online test is inaccurate. I've yet to find one that isn't.
Burrell, does that also mean I can't eat all I want, and still lose weight?
What about these wrinkle creams?

All the "Which Buffy character are you?" quizzes always peg me as the character I most identify with.

The Buffy quizzes never work for me. I most identify with (earlier) Buffy and (early) Willow, and yet I somehow always end up with Xander or Tara. I didn't even particularly like Tara until right before she died, and had managed to find a backbone.

I don't get the "caught" option--unless they just mean vowel-wise, because there's no "n" sound in caught, and that vowel sound is aw, where aunt has ah.
Pretty sure they just mean the vowel sound. I pronounce "aunt" two different ways, and the sound in "caught" is probably the best approximation to one of them -- sort of like the vowel sound in "odd", actually.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I still don't understand how "caught" and "cot" could sound different. I sat here saying them over and over, trying to exaggerate the vowels, and they still sound the same.
For the record, I tried it with "haughty" and "hottie," and those sound the same, too.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Caught is an awwwwww sound, low down in the back of my mouth. Cot is an ahhhhhhh sound, just as far back but higher up.

Maybe Topic!Cindy. But what care I for a flying Speedo. It lacks a certain .. Xanderness up there. Not to mention it's dry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
