Common Mispronunciations of Annoyed
Not uh-NOY-ed
No separate beat hides in the ending. After the oy glide the d simply attaches, which is why the word has two syllables and not three.
Not uh-NOYT
Keep the voice running all the way through the d. Hardening it to a t is a habit carried over from German, where final consonants always devoice.
