Pronounce This!

Pronounce This!

Ever come across an unfamiliar word that you're not certain how to pronounce? Fret no more. There is an online remedy for the problem in a website called howjsayit.

Click over to the link and type in a word. You'll be given the correct pronunciation.

I'm told both American and British spellings work, although I've only tried it with American versions.

The first word I tried? Peony. I know how it is pronounced, but after being in the recent company of someone who insisted on mispronouncing it, it was a luxury to hear it properly spoken.

Peony.

Peony. I HATE it when people put the emphasis on the O.
