Common Mispronunciations of Committed
Not KAH-mi-tid
MI is the pushed beat and the opening kuh runs colourless in front of it.
Not kuh-MIT-ed
A t in front of the ed earns the ending a beat, so the word closes on tid rather than on a spelled-out ed.
Tip: Committee and committed share their first two beats and part only at the close.
