Erroneous Pronunciation.

Habit and example have much to do
with the pronunciation of the English
language, as it does not depend upon any
fixed rules, as does that of most other
languages. Therefore, it is very impor-
tant that parents, teachers, pastors OF
churches, and all public speakers, should
pronounce correctly, in order that their
example may not lead astray the children
and others who take them as guides.
Persons often pronounce incorrectly
without knowing what the correct pro-
nunciation is, and often from defective
enunciation, without being aware that
they do not pronounce as others.
We propose to give few of the words
that are very commonly mis-pronounced
by teachers, public speakers, and others
who should know better.
The word parent is very frequently
pronounced parent, with the long as
in pay, although there is no authority for
this pronunciation. It should be pro-
nounced parent, the having the same
sound as in pare. There is seldom
Sabbath that we do not hear this word
mis-pronounced in the pulpit. In the
words matron, matronly, patron, patriot,
the should have the long sound, as in
fate, and not the short sound, as in fat.
1t should be noticed here that Worces-
ter's dictionary is not always to be relied
upon when it states the usage of Web
ster, for it refers to an old and antigua
ted edition, and not to the latter ones.
The word idea is very often accented
on the second syllable, instead of the
first, as it should be. The word accented
should have the accent on the second
syllable. instead of the first The words
shall and catch are very frequently mis-
pronounced shell and ketch.
Experience, serious, and series are too
often heard as ex-pir-rince, sirius, and
sir-is, the short sound of i taking the
place of long g. Process and progress
are often pronounced with long, in
stead of the short sound of o-thus pro-
gress, process. The of the word often
is not uncommonly sounded, although it
should be silent. In beneath the sound
of til should be sub-vocal, as in this, and
aspirate, as in thick.
These are few of the words that are
very commonly mis-pronounced. We
propose to add to the list in subsequent
numbers, and shall be obliged to teach
ers and others who will inform US of
words which they find to be often pro-
nounced enormously. Teachers and
public speakers ought certainly never to
pronouce incorrectly, and we hope to
make this feature of our paper alone
worth more to all these than the sub
scription price, The Household.
