How do you pronounce this word? So you don't pronounce it like this word. This word is pronounced sheet. The letter E is pronounced E. The second E is silent. Sheat. This word, which I will not pronounce because it's a bad word. The letter I is pronounced like an A. So we don't want to pronounce this word because it's a bad word. The I is pronounced like an A. So if you pronounce this word incorrectly by pronouncing the A, the E, like an A, then you will say this word, which is a bad word. So repeat with me. Sheat. Not A.
