Thanks! Not entirely sure about the every though, but see the review above!
If we’re wrong either way, why change it?
One reason would be if one pronunciation is much more common. Might as well be correct more often than not, if possible. I feel like two syllables is much more common for "every", but I don't have statistics to back that up. This stackexchange answer claims two syllables is more common:
The dictionaries generally describe it as having two; /ˈɛvri/ (Oxford British English), /ˈevrē/ (Oxford American English), \ˈev-rē\ (Mirriam-Webster), and that is the more common pronunciations.
I'm also noticing that while most "every____" compound words are treated by this library as if "every" is three syllables, "everyone" uses a two syllable "every".
This adds four special cases that I had some trouble with recently:
I couldn't think of a more generalized rule for any of these that would be useful for other words as well, but would be willing to dive a little deeper if you disagree.
Thanks!
