Common Mispronunciations of Comment
Not kuh-MENT
Unusually for a noun and verb pair, both keep the beat at the front. Comment does not follow the record and present pattern.
Not KAH-muhnt
The second syllable holds a clear short e rather than reducing. Say it as if the ment were a small word of its own.
Tip: Commentary and commentator move the beat to the second syllable, but comment itself never does.
