Mom is, for some reason, what they say in the west midlands area. But not east midlands where I once lived.

Speaker to her - Mam
Speaking of her - Mother

['Conor]

Mam, Ma or Mother.

Isn't mom the more logical short/informal way of saying mother, as there actually is an 'o' in mother? How the hell does a 'u' get in there?
