I find it awkward to say "squeezed". Perhaps u-o defies the laws of linguistics.
Birdy, I moved to California 8 months ago via NH. I get flack for dropping my r's every once in a while, and also pronouncing the word "room" incorrectly. Apparently I don't pronounce the double O in that word properly. I say it more like "rum", with a slight double-o. Moving elsewhere in the country can make you aware of an accent you never thought you had.
