How do you pronounce the following words:

accessory
accept
accelerate

I pronounce them all with /Ek/, not the /{k/ the dictionaries list them with.
Kirk   Mon Jan 16, 2006 7:41 pm GMT
I usually pronounce them with [Ik].
Lazar   Mon Jan 16, 2006 8:03 pm GMT
Yeah, I also usually pronounce them with [Ik].
Jim   Tue Jan 17, 2006 1:29 am GMT
I'd say either /{k/ or /@k/.

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