Initial ''ac'' words.
How do you pronounce the following words:
accessory
accept
accelerate
I pronounce them all with /Ek/, not the /{k/ the dictionaries list them with.
I usually pronounce them with [Ik].
Yeah, I also usually pronounce them with [Ik].
I'd say either /{k/ or /@k/.

Young-Won Kim,
No offence, could you write without those brackets so it's easier to understand?
