| Feb 16, 2019 at 0:37 | comment | added | Peter Shor | @Janus: there are lots of people who say /ˈreɪʃoʊ/, and I wouldn't call it wrong. Claiming that it is the only correct, and also the historically correct pronunciation was a little over the top, though. (The answer was edited since.) | |

I’ve never really thought about it, but the di- and trisyllabic variants both sound perfectly normal and unremarkable to me. I’m quite surprised ODO doesn’t even give the disyllabic pronunciation as a variant. The OED only gives it as an AmE variant, which I’m quite sure isn’t right. I’ve definitely heard Brits say /ˈrεɪʃəʊ/ as well. | |
