Common Mispronunciations of Accessories

Not uh-SE-suh-reez

The cc carries two sounds, k then s, so the opening is ak rather than a single uh.

Not a-KE-suh-reez

That drops the s out of the middle. Both letters do work here: ak-SE-ser-eez.

Tip: Double c before e or i splits into ks: accessories, accept, success, accident.
