burntsox NPR jarred me this morning using ignominy in a report. I had assumed the stress was on the second syllable, but the preferred pronunciation stresses the first. Apr 9, 2008
burntsox I finally resolved how to say row. When it's a dispute, it rhymes with how. When it moves a boat, it's has a long 'O.' Mar 31, 2008
burntsox Saying ask as "axe" would be a deal-breaker for me. Check, please! Mar 18, 2008

burntsox I don't know how to pronounce clitoris. Seinfeld suggests it rhymes with "Dolores." Mar 13, 2008
burntsox I had no idea palm, or calm for that matter, were pronounced without voicing the "l." Yet that is quite established in some parts of the Unitd States. Mar 13, 2008
burntsox My wife insists on pronouncing the "t" in often. This drives me crazy, but it's perfectly fine and accepted, though Bryan Garner disapproves. Mar 13, 2008
