Without hunting for the "Dancing with the Stars" subthread, there was a
breakthrough this evening! The English announcer said "D[a]nce the
m[&]mbo".

Did you mean "D[A:]nce"? One would expect either that or "D[a]nce the
m[a]mbo" (if he's from the North).

With no idea of what you're asking about, I have simply followed the
IPA's instructions and provided no more information than is necessary
to describe the distinction at hand. No one all week has had any
trouble understanding what I was referring to.
