How do you pronounce "ACCEPT"

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

I hate it when people pronounce it ASSEPT. It's not pronounced that way. Otherwise you wouldn't have a freaking double C to begin with.

This isn't even like the "roof" question I asked last time where there's multiple pronounciations. There's only 1, and yet people pronounce this one incorrectly all the time. Same goes for "accelerate." I work with glues at work and we use accelerator to speed it up and it always irks me to hear "asselerator."

I don't mind different "roof" pronunciations, nor have I ever heard someone pronounce "acc" like "ass."

I have seriously considered punching people who say "foilage"

Assept? :laugh:

Honestly, the only people I can think of who I've heard say it that way are children.

i've never heard of ass-ept before though

 

[DangerAardvark]

My middle school English teacher pronounced "couch" like "cooch". She also got mad if we said "Uranus" normally and not "ooranoos".

"we pronounce it Herbs...because there's a ***** H in it"
