XKCD #2819: Pronunciation (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago by tja@sh.itjust.works to c/xkcd@lemmy.world

I pronounce the 'u' in 'pronunciation' like in 'putting' but the 'ou' in 'pronounce' like in 'wound'.


Transcript[The word "Tuesday", with each letter labeled by a box with an arrow:] T: As in buffet u: As in minute e: As in record s: As in use d: As in moped a: As in bass y: As in gyro
