This topic was up in a different thread and I thought it was interesting so I'll make an individual thread for this topic.
So when do you use /I/ and /@/?
Many dictionaries say that suffix -ment is pronounced with /@/, but around here the majority pronounce it with /I/, so government is pronounced /gVv@`nmInt/. Also "admit", "accept" and "advice" all have /I/.
However, object(verb) has /@/ and never has /I/.
Any rules as to when to use /I/ and /@/?
