How to pronounce GYRO in American English.
Video Text:
We’re going to get controversial today.
How do you pronounce this word? The internet is full of different ideas.
Okay, if we’re talking about for example “Gyroscope”, there’s just one pronunciation: dʒaɪ.roʊ.
But what about this?
Cambridge dictionary says it’s pronounced jɪr.oʊ but when you press the speaker, she says ‘jahy-roh
Dictionary.com says ‘yē-ˌrō or jahy-roh
Merriam Webster says ‘yē-ˌrō or ‘zhir-ō
Macmillan says ˈdʒaɪroʊ
Looks like a couple of different pronunciations are acceptable but I want to know how do you pronounce it.
