Common Mispronunciations of Today

Not TOO-day

The first part is a weak tuh, not the number two. The word is a fused form of to and day, and the first half has faded accordingly.

Not TUH-day

The beat belongs on DAY. Putting it at the front gives the word an odd falling shape.

Tip: Tomorrow and tonight open with the same faint tuh.
