AUTO

OTTO

Are they pronounced alike or different??

The first one should have a soft "a" sound while the second one should
start with a soft "o" sound. Slurred slightly "Otto ought to consider
getting his auto at the automobile repair shop" could end up sounding
like "Otto otto consider getting his otto at the otto repair shop"
