Common Mispronunciations of Almighty
Not AL-my-tee
Lift the second syllable, MY, and keep the first quiet. Almost and already front-load the beat instead, so the al words do not all behave alike.
Not al-MI-tee
Stretch the i until it matches mighty on its own. A short i makes the word sound like a different one entirely.
