How to spell "Pronunciation"?
Hello) I was writing an email and wanted to use the word "pronunciation," but suddenly doubted my spelling skills. I figured you would be the perfect person to ask for confirmation!

Hello there! It's a fantastic question. Many people often misspell the word "pronunciation". The correct spelling is with "-nun-" after the initial "pro-", not "-noun-".

This spelling mirrors how the word is pronounced (pro-NUN-see-AY-shun), with the stress placed on the second syllable.

Here's an example sentence: "She had difficulty with the pronunciation of challenging words during her language lesson."

Thank you, and I hope this explanation is helpful!
