Common Mispronunciations of Adipose
Not uh-DI-pohs
A at the front is the loud beat, the flat vowel of cat. Nothing in the middle of the word ever takes the push.
Not A-duh-POHZ
No full push lands on the close, although it keeps its oh. The middle beat is the one that empties out into a duh.
Tip: American entries hiss the ending and British entries buzz it, so A-duh-pohs and A-di-pohz are both standard.
