Common Mispronunciations of Changes
Not CHAYNJZ
Here a beat genuinely is added. After a j sound the plural ending has to be its own syllable, because jz cannot be said in one go.
Not CHAYN-jess
The ending buzzes rather than hisses, so it comes out juhz.
Tip: Changed loses a beat and changes gains one, from the same two-beat word.
