Common Mispronunciations of Argued
Not AHR-gyoo-ed
The ending adds a d to the oo and stops there, leaving two beats. A third would need a t or a d in front of the ending, as wanted has.
Not AHR-good
A y glide rides in between the g and the oo, so the second beat is gyood. Dropping it leaves a sound closer to argot.
