Confused American here - what are the right places? I used both for my own mother.

NAYRT - In that case, you're a massive exception. But the two words sound very different: There's a clear 'oh' sound in the middle of Mom (a front of the mouth sound), while Mum has a 'uh' sound (more middle of the mouth). Americans (outside of you) use 'Mom', while the rest of the English-speaking world generally uses 'Mum'. I believe Ireland has 'Mam', but I'd check that with an Irish person before using it.

I know I find it massively annoying just in subtitles when non-American characters are clearly saying 'Mum' and being subtitled 'Mom'... The times I find fic doing the same (non-American characters calling their mothers 'Mom') is thankfully rare, but enough to make me back right out of it.

DA - it's equally off-putting when Sam and Dean Winchester start talking about the demon that killed their Mum.

Except in the midlands, where 'Mom' is common - doesn't sound exactly like the american pronunciation, but is distinct from 'Mum' as well
