I just chanced upon this piece of similarity. Does anybody here feel that the words GAS and GUESS sound similiar when mouthed? I have heard them being pronounced similarly by a lot of people. Has that happened to you?

Yes..the answer lies in a term of grammar known as a dipthong..you can look it up..so you won't fotget it...if you were to go to New Zealand..you would not be able to tell which was which,unless used in context..no offence to any Kiwis..eg. Do you shear sheep?.....

Not in the U.S., no. I could see how in other English-speaking countries they could sound similar because of the accent. Most notably I think Australians would maybe say those similarly.

Um...no not at all. What part of the country do you live in!? And how do they sound similar when MOUTHED? Mouthing a word is SILENT.

They don't sound the same when I say them, but I enunciate my words very precisely. Where are you from? Perhaps it is your accent that causes this.

They do sort of sound similar - but if you stress the @$$ part of gas it's different sounding.
