Common Mispronunciations of Unsupported

Not UHN-suh-pawr-tid

The un prefix does not pull the beat forward. Support keeps its stress where it was, so the whole word peaks on PAWR.

Not uhn-soo-PAWR-tid

Reduce the middle syllable to a colourless suh. Spelling it with a u invites a long oo that native speakers do not use here.
