Common Mispronunciations of Accomplice
Not uh-KAHM-plees
That ce ending is a weak pluhs with no ee in it. Accomplish is the near twin, and only the final consonant separates the pair.
Not A-kuhm-plis
KAHM carries everything and the opening uh is barely sounded. The double c is a single k throughout.
Tip: Three beats, uh-KAHM-pluhs. The British entry rounds the middle vowel and leaves the rhythm untouched.
