Common Mispronunciations of Come
Not KOHM
Spelling suggests a long o, but this word takes the uh of cup. Some, done, and love all play the same trick.
Not KOO-muh
The final e is silent and adds no beat. One syllable, ending on the m.
Tip: Come and comb look like a pair but are not. Comb keeps the long o and drops the b; come has neither.
