AusE

Rubbish! AusE foot is [fʊt] whilst AusE goose is [gʉs]. The distinction is both length & position. Jimp 21Dec05

You've misread it. It was talking about /ʉː/ before /l/, where for many Australians (at least) the position is nearly merged & length becomes the primary or only queue. I've clarified the para (I hope) and removed the dubious template. —Felix the Cassowary (ɑe hɪː jɐ) 13:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
