Common Mispronunciations of Procedure
Not pro-SEE-dyoor
The d and the following u merge into a j sound in ordinary speech, so the ending is jer rather than dyoor.
Not PRO-suh-jer
The second syllable is the strong one, and the opening pro flattens to a quick pruh.
Tip: Proceed has a double e and procedure has one. The sound is the same in both.
