I know someone who was born and raised in Oklahoma who says

warsh. She left there at about 20 and has lived in several

other places in the US but has not lost that "r". She also

pronounces "uncle" differently than I have heard before.

Can't describe it as none of the "Os" listed in FAQ quite

fit.
