If I'm understanding correctly then the words "sauce" and "source" are indistinguishable when spoken by a brit?
Pretty much yeah!
Source will have emphasis on the r.
Its important because if youre at the dinner table and ask for sauce wrong, mum will pass you 273,000 lines of javascript.
That's borderline child abuse

Depends on who you ask.
It’s the same in Aussie English
Looks that way...
