Common Mispronunciations of Analyst
Not uh-NA-list
The front beat is the loud one, which is what separates the noun from the verb analyse. Moving it back gives the unrelated annalist, a writer of annals.
Not A-nuh-lyst
The ly here holds a short reduced vowel, so the ending is list and not the lyst of catalyst. Analysis treats the same letters the same way.
