My Ant Rita.
The u makes the difference.
It irritates me so much when people pronounce it "ant". I challenge you to find one other word containing "au" pronounced simply like a long "a". (Not that aunt is one of those.
)
There's no point of having the letter k in the word "knot" if you're just gonna pronounce it like "not". We should just pronounce it kuhnot instead.
But everyone knows that the "k" is silent. The only time "u" is silent is when it's after a "q".
Everyone knows there are two ways to pronounce the word "aunt".

Listen to the audio pronunciation. Reality: some letters are silent.
