Very good, but no Brit kid would ever say "Mom". ("Mum" in the South and "Mam" in parts of North, roughly)

Not to mention outside of the USA, "HUMOUR" is spelled like this.

Actually, "Mom" is fairy common in parts of the Midlands, and in Norn Iron!

And in South Eastern accents, "mum" comes out as "mam". Being a proper northern man, I call me mam "mam". :D

Cheers!
