I have a question about weak forms in G.A.
If you go to search for the word "MY" at M-W.com you will see two different pronunciations, one is "mai" and the other one is "m&",
I understand that the second one is the weak form, what troubles me is that I didn't know that americans pronounce this word in such a way when unstressed.
Also, if you look up "OUR" you will encounter two pronunciations: "är" and "au(-&)r".
I didn't know that the first one was common in america, and I always thought that this word was pronounced "&r" when unstressed, and if that's the case ,
why don't they show the unstressed pronunciation?,
just like they show "y&r" for YOUR".
I don't understand, help, please
