You’re going to have to help me out here Fiji.
What is end supposed to rhyme with, if not pinned?
Of course anti sounds like man tie.
Hell, except for Moscow, I pronounce everything as you’ve described.
I’m having flash backs to childhood and correct dictionary pronunciations. Argghh! And I’d like to share a pet peeve- the word “often.” The non-silent “t” has only become acceptable because so many people have mispronounced word. Back in the 1960s, the pronunciation was “off-en.” Reading the dictionary was leisure time material and sometimes game material. Fictionary is still a favorite game. I keep waiting for the day when “irregardless” is added to the dictionary and I expect to see it in my lifetime :(
