Common Mispronunciations of Omnipotence

Not AHM-ni-puh-tuhns

NI in second place takes the beat, with the opening ahm quick and closed.

Not ahm-NI-poh-tuhns

The o in the middle flattens to puh, so the word does not sound like potency.

Tip: Omnipotent, the adjective, keeps the beat in the same place: ahm-NI-puh-tuhnt.
