Here's an example of a pronunciation with a more open first vowel.

Wiktionary says that's usual in UK, /ˈhɒ.və(ɹ)/ vs /ˈhʌ.vɚ/ in the US.

Thanks, I wish I could read those pronunciations.

Oh come on! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English

might as well link to the wikipedia on how to pronounce pinyin

that article doesn't explain ɚ at all, btw

The problem here isn't in the lack of knowledge of IPA pronuncation by a native English speakers, but in the lack of... willingness? To explore and learn new things.

Sure, my accent is attrocious, but at least I have an idea how /something/ could sound - only because I bothered to select the word, click RMB and choose 'Search on the web for $selection'
