For me it’s always ‘bus-in-ess’
It’s like “busy”, but a noun.
Don’t ask me why the y becomes an i and silent…
Feb-ru-ary!
How many of us pronounce it like, Feb-U-ary?
Would that be everyone?
Honestly, the makeup of the words (this and weds) are suck mental… I both love and hate English for these ridiculous discrepancies…
Its not a language, its a fustercluck!
Not everyone, no.
You couldn’t make a phonetic English, as the anglosphere will never agree on how words are pronounced.
Even within the UK they couldn’t agree. Even within the US they couldn’t agree.
Australia is all on the same page, but not the same as the UK or US
And don’t even bother with us non natives I mix and match pronounciation as I please. No one can stop me.
I’ve given up long ago, now I just write önsdag and whoever gets it gets it
