it - in your head you have a certain way to pronounce it, and saying it a
different way feels weird. The way I say it, ædvərtɪsmɪnt, is the British way
to say it. The standard American pronunciation, ædvərtaɪzmɪnt, sounds so
bizarre to me that I have to look up the pronunciation for it in the
dictionary. Despite the fact that I was born and raised in Ohio, I still say it
in the British way. Perhaps this is due to the fact that my father’s British,
and even after living in the US for over forty years, still pronounces certain
words differently. Even though I pronounce it in the British way, I still
usually shorten it to “ad”, not “advert”, which is inconsistent with how I
pronounce it, but that’s what I do…
What words do you
pronounce differently than the standard for the dialect in which you speak?
