forehead: the little girl with a litt le curl right in the middle of hers

Oh, my, lets not have people start yelling again about a/o merger. I have 
/forId/ and /horId/, where /o/ varies between [o] (as in BOUGHT) and [ow] (as in 
BOAT) in both cases. No doubt the truespel guy will count me among the saints 
for rounding my lips in both cases (and prononcing the /h/). Or maybe not, 
since I am a free-variation kind of guy with respect to how tense the 
lip-rounding is, and how high my tongue will be in any given production.
