Common Mispronunciations of Confidentiality
Not kahn-fuh-DEN-shee-a-luh-tee
Seven beats, and the loud one is the A near the end. Keeping the stress where confidential has it stalls the word halfway.
Not kahn-fi-den-ti-A-luh-tee
The ti before an a reads as shee, so the middle is den-shee and never den-tee.
Tip: Build it from the end: A-luh-tee, then shee in front, then kahn-fuh-den.
