I've been a writer for over seven years, and a listener of over ten. I'm sure I've listened to over 1,000 different audios at least. This is to say—I'm well experienced.
I don't expect perfection out of anybody, but please: If you're going to fill my scripts, let alone anybody else's, please say the following words correctly. Nothing snaps me out of an immersive story than by hearing something pronounced wrong, and this is a sentiment held by many listeners—even if not directly stated. We will take you much more seriously as an artist and performer if you do.
/bɪˈlʌv.ɪd/
/bɪˈlʌv.ɪd/
This word is both an adjective and a noun. Its pronunciation changes depending on how it is used!
As an adjective: "Be-loved"
As a noun: "Be-love-ed" — Most common as term of endearment.
If somebody is your beloved, they are "be-love-ed". If someone is fondly remembered by the masses, they are "be-loved".
/skers/
/skers/
Pronounced as "scare-ce". This is easily the most commonly missed word, perhaps ever. It means something in rare supply.
