Word Stress in Miss Universe
« on: December 23, 2018, 03:40:43 PM »
Hi sir Joe,


Merry Christmas in advance!

It's been a while since I visited this site, but, of course, I will never forget this site as this is a hoard of treasure for teachers, learners, and language enthusiasts like me.


Well, the reason I visited this site is that I can't help but notice Miss Gray's pronunciation of the word "assess" when she answered the final question in the recently concluded Miss Universe.

What I noticed was she seemed to put the stress on the first syllable,didn't she?Or, was I just too sensitive with how it was pronounced?


Thank you!

Mike

Glad to hear from you again, Mike!

I really can't comment on how Catriona Gray pronounced "assess" because I didn't watch the Miss Universe pageant. If she did mispronounce that word, it's unfortunate but really understandable owing to contest jitters. I suggest we let it pass.

Merry Christmas!
