Questionable Pittsburgh relevance aside, what's the difference between "ou" vs. "ow," and are you hearing lots of people saying both of these (particular ou)?

Oh and ow are pronounced the same. “ I’m going out of town” is “Ahl be going aht of tahn”

I teach phonemic awareness and both sounds early in education are introduced. So ou, ow, ouch, not sure if it was a Pittsburgh thing or everyone thing or what!

This is an interesting question. You may get better information from a linguist, though. Perhaps r/linguistics can help?
