Common Mispronunciations of Texture
Not TEK-stoor
An x hands over a ks, so the middle of this word is a ksch run with no vowel in it. That cluster is what makes texture harder to say than tenure.
Not tek-STOOR
TEKS opens loud and cher trails behind it. Textural is the relative that moves the push along.
Tip: Text, texture and textile all keep the ks of the x, and only texture turns the t that follows into a ch.
