Common Mispronunciations of Tilted
Not TILD
A t at the end of the stem forces the ending into a beat of its own, tid. Tilt has one beat and tilted has two.
Not til-TID
TIL opens loud, and the extra beat behind it stays quiet even though it is fully pronounced.
Tip: The l and the t run straight together with no vowel between them, as they do in built and quilt.
