In Canada it's the long O, in USA the short O. Unless you live near the border. Then it may be either. Then there is the accent from New Brunswick, a province in eastern Canada. Lyse Doucet, a journalist who works for the BBC speaks with this distinctive accent. It was more pronounced when I first heard her years ago. It is an interesting accent.

Thank you, Eric.
After hearing it with the short O all my life in the US and hearing many Canadian YouTubers use the long O, I came across a YouTuber from BC who deliberately pronounced it both ways. I told her I thought the long O pronunciation was Canadian and the short O pronunciation, American. She didn't agree.so, I thought I'd ask here to see what I could find out.

No matter how you pronounce it, it's going to take longer and cost more than you thought it would. That applies in all regions, regardless of dialect.

The only time I say project with a long O is when your are telling someone to speak more loudly and clearly. PRO-JECT!

Long O sometimes: The slide projecter projects an image onto the screen.


Short O for whatever I'm working on.

Your writing reads like some of my relatives in the Charleston area sound. There are people in certain parts of the UK who sound the same as them but without the drawl.
