    Okay people, I gotta just keep saying this until it sticks.

    Multiple Os in a word sound like a long U, not a long O. This means unless you’re heading into another consonant, you’re not saying “Go” any more you’re saying “goo”.

      What’s your alternative to convey the meaning that everyone understood already?
