Tip: Commonly Mispronounced Words | |
"Do what you want, but the proper pronunciation of an educated person is APPlicable, FORMidable, and Ofen (silent "t"). ApPLICable, forMIDable, and off-ten aren't right." --Alan Weiss, speaker and author
Here's a word for sports fans: athlete
Don't say: ath-uh-lete, Do say: ath-lete (2 syllables)
A word for political folks: candidate
Don't say: CANN-ih-date | Do say: CAN-dih-date
I hope this clears up how to correctly pronounce these 5 common words.
Until next week,
Loren
