Something I was wondering about this morning: native English speakers, do you pronounce initial [wh] and initial [w] differently? I.e., is there a difference in the way you pronounce 'which' and 'witch' or 'whether' and 'weather'?

@joyce I remember a tongue twister as a kid- Which witch is which (or something like that) and you had to make the other person understand what you meant

@DaNanner @joyce my daughter loves this one: if two witches were watching two watches, which witch would watch which watch

@twoowls73 @DaNanner @joyce Great. My brain is now going "which-watch, witch-watch" with a "tick-tock" cadence.
