[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That realtor is not pronounced "real-uh-tor"[/quote] again, this is regional. Jewelry and Realtor are pronounced differently depending on where you were raised. [/quote] Huh. I always just assumed that these were simply commonly mispronounced words, rather than words with multiple pronunciations that are considered correct. Like mixing up the vowels in “nuclear” by pronouncing it “nook-you-lar.”[/quote] No one so far has offered up the supposed correct pronunciations. So I’ll still with the allegedly incorrect versions. [/quote] My friend who grew up in Baltimore says "Jewl-a-ree". this is also interesting - and for me is accurate https://www.thejournal.ie/maps-americans-pronounce-different-words-938575-Jun2013/[/quote]
