| Aug 17, 2019 at 9:36 | comment | added | Araucaria - Him | @Jim If you pronounce those as in the dictionary in the string As for me then you don' t speak standard English. Those pronunciations are for citation forms, which we use when such words are stressed or stranded. In any other environment in connected speech, we use so -called weak forms. This is not an optional feature of English. It is a systematic feature relating to the organisation of information and its relationship to stress. It is a scientically observable fact, and in no way can be considered a matter of opinion. | |

| Aug 16, 2019 at 16:51 | comment | added | Jim | @Araucaria - I pronounce those three words just as the dictionaries say they are pronounced. The OP gives no context for them that might influence differently. And beyond that different dialects may say them differently but It then becomes opinion-based as to who is correct. Or rather, they’re all correct- each in their own context. | |

Pronouncing dictionaries cannot cover the pronunciations of function words, or in fact any words when appearing in connected speech. But that does not make their pronunciation not rule bound. That's a bit like saying that if you can't find out how to treat a rare diease in an undergraduate medical textbook, then its treatent is just a matter of opinion. Does that not sound ridiculous to you??? | |
