Common Mispronunciations of Apps
Not A-puhz
A p in front of the plural keeps the ending hissing, the way it does in maps and cups.
Not AYPS
Clip the vowel hard, because stretched out it gives the plural of ape instead.
Tip: Applications shortened to apps, and the clipping kept the short vowel of the longer word.
