J they do not put the accent on the last
syllable Of adept, as thev should do; they
leave the found out OF buoy; they pro-
nounce duke with the sound of 90 instead
OF with the simple long u; emphasize the

astonished to know that precedence has

subtle are two different words; that the
last syllable of tortoise Is pronounced
"tis" instead of ".us;" that 1t should be
