Common Mispronunciations of Accomplished
Not uh-KAHM-plish-id
A sh at the end of the stem turns the ending into a plain t: plisht. No new beat appears, so three carry the word.
Not uh-kahm-PLISHT
KAHM is the loud beat and the plisht behind it is quick. Accomplish, accomplished and accomplishment all keep it there.
Tip: Mission accomplished uses the verb sense, and an accomplished pianist uses the adjective, with no change in sound.
