Common Mispronunciations of Schedule
Not SKED-yool
In the American form the first part is sked and the middle collapses to a j sound: SKE-juul. Keeping a clear y after the d sounds halfway between the two standards.
Not skuh-DYOOL
Whichever standard you use, the beat is on the first syllable.
Tip: This is the classic transatlantic split. Americans open with sk as in school, most British speakers open with sh as in shed, and neither is wrong.
