Common Mispronunciations of Legislation
Not LE-juh-slay-shuhn
SLAY in third place carries the volume, and the two beats in front of it stay flat.
Not leg-iss-LAY-shuhn
Read those first four letters as le-juh, because nothing in this word sounds like the word leg.
Tip: The s belongs with the lay that follows it, so the middle of the word runs juh-SLAY.
