Ok, that's what I'm thinking. I was mispronouncing "kawt" in my head, but if it sounds like ow, then I have been saying it right by pronouncing it like aught, right?

I thought Kawt would be pronounced like aught too. Like a crow 'caws'. So I chose caught = kawt. I'm so confused.

Okay, crow "caws" is about right. I didn't think of that one.
