Good point. there are certain vowel sounds in english that are used only certain directs. If i could type in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) I might be able to better illustrate; but fsquared's examples are valid, if you are familiar with the differences in dialect.
PS: I'm happy to see that my pronunciation lessons are still able to generate some conversation.
