How do you pronounce the word resistance?
Is it pronounced anti or anti?
The prefix “anti” is acceptably pronounced both ways, however it is usually pronounced [antai] (or to a lesser extent [anti]) when stressed or emphasized, and [antɪ] as in ‘lid’ when said otherwise. Highly active question.
Is the T silent in exactly?
When the T and D sounds come between two other consonant sounds, many Americans will drop them. But when we add the -ly ending, it now comes between two consonants. You’ll hear a lot of native speakers say ‘exactly‘, with no T sound. Exactly, exactly.
Is the H silent in WHIP?
The H, for the most part, is not. It is pronounced as though it were spelled “wip”. Now, there are people in some parts of the English-speaking world who pronounce these “wh” words (whip, white, when, where) such that the H is pronounced, but it sounds like it’s before the W. So it would come out like “hwip”.
