I asked this before but I didn't get an answer...

What is the difference in pronunciation between an "Omega" and an "Omicron"?

You are absolutely right. I apologize!

The "o" sound in "W" is a more "rounded" "o" sound than that in "O"

Its rather like the difference in the "o" sounds in "Oleo" and "Out", respectively.

Omicron is a short O and Omega is a long O.
