Alacrity - how do you pronounce it?
Well? I was looking up something on youtube and someone said it weirdly, or so I thought. But they were American, I'm English.
So, which do you use? Just curious. alak-rity ala-kritty |

You say it how Webster's says to say it or you're wrong. |

Thankfully on this occasion the consensus seems to be what I use, "alak-rity" <3 :) Another one threw me today, apparently if you see the name "Warwick" some people across the Atlantic say "wooor-wick", rather than "worrick" as we would in England :p |

ALSO Najena is pronounced "nuh - hey - nah". |
My favorite British reshuffling of syllable emphasis is in "advertisement".
American: ADvertisement British: edVERtissment Although, in retrospect we Americans are the ones doing the reshuffling. |
I pronounce everything wrong and I chose option 2 so option 1 is probably correct lol
