Pronunciation problems?
While I don't consider this a problem, but I'd like to pronounce "precipice" to rhyme with recipe--and (well--there is no end to my streak of defiance), I sometimes do!
I am happy that we can "laugh" in kind spirit (with 'gh' resembling an "f" sound) with those who see "ghosts" (with 'gh' sounding like a 'g' sound). I am also happy for a person to respell either word - and I would not have a problem with any variation.
I am not a linguist in any way - but I enjoy to hear a person annunciate speech patters through pronunciations or phrasings that seem different or unique to me. I feel that difference adds variety - but what do I know(?).
