[wanabidii] English Pronunciation

This week's word is ULTIMATUM

An Ultimatum is a deadline. If I give you an ultimatum, that means I am giving you a deadline to do or finish a certain task, failure of which will attract some penalty or punishment.

UTLIMATUM

The British say:     A- L-T- I- M- E-T- A- M

Americans say:     O- L-T- I- M- E- D- A- M   
                             (the D here is halfway between T and D but closer to D)

I hope this helps those who aspire to speak like the British or Americans.

Courage
