MuzikTyme Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 So then, Other words commonly mispronounced: Salmon . . . most pronounce the L, which is silent Solder . . .most pronounce the L which is silent Pigeon . . . most pronounce it with a D. Not sure why. Renown . . .most say re-known, a mystery in itself. list goes on and on. BTW, the T is silent in "often" Matter of fact, we had a thread about this back in '04. Cool.

Shawna Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Pigeon . . . most pronounce it with a D. Not sure why. how can you tell? According to Mirriam-Webster online, "often" can be pronounced either way: Main Entry: of·ten Pronunciation: \o-fən, of-tən\ Function: adverb Etymology: Middle English, alteration of oft Date: 14th century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Notice, though, the first pronunciation is without sounding the "T." Ta ma toe is the second pronunciation of tomato. It's the first that's proper, although, either is acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
