What is the proper pronunciation of these words?
- pronunciation (nun or noun?)
- ogle (oh-gull or awe-gull?)
- orgy ("Oh gee" or Jean-Guy?)
- height (T or TH on the end?)
- deity (dee-it-ee or day-it-ee or die-ty ?)
I only ask because I've heard them all pronounced incorrectly over the years, sometimes by me, and I'm wondering if they are common or uncommon mispronunciations.
