Who doesn’t love English pronunciation? It’s hard to know how a word is pronounced just by looking at it at the best of times. Take ignominious or brewery…
Since the rules of English spelling and pronunciation are ridiculous, the English language gods though to themselves, why not have words with multiple pronunciations?
Here’s a list of the most common words that you can pronounce in two ways in British English:
- Garage
- Leisure
- Either
- Often
- Aunt
- Almond
- Jewellery
- Privacy
- Schedule
- GIF
There are obviously more of these indecisive words, if you find any let me know!
