Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Hadar Shemesh ("body | baa-dee") explaining that the letter O in many common words (honest, stop, job, body, problem) is pronounced as an "ah" sound (as in 'father') rather than a rounded "o". The clip is a brief, repetitive dialogue highlighting this common spelling-to-sound pattern.

The letter O.
That's probably the most common spelling pattern.
Honest, stop, job, body problem.
And even though when you see the letter O, you might want to go into a.
More rounded sound like o, but it's actually ah. Honest, stop, job, body problem. Okay, remember.
This one, because this is probably the most common spelling pattern that is associated with.
The ah as in father.
