I have recently found out that "use" was pronounced slightly differently whether you use it as a verb or as a noun.
I guess this can be added to my list of pronunciation mistakes. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I had to think about this for a minute but I think I probably alternate between 'munts' and 'months(pronounced 'munths'), but I would never say 'munt', if I'm using the singular 'month' I always pronounce it correctly. To me it's just colloquial. If I'm speaking in everyday conversation I'll be speaking fast enough that you wouldn't even notice the difference. Just like if I say 'tree' or 'chree' at the normal speed there is next to no difference to my ear. But if I slow it down, 'tree' doesn't even sound like the correct word anymore, it has to be spoken at normal speed. I'm Canadian by the way (: I live very close to the border in Ontario, so I can't speak for other Canadians in locations that are further north, but this is how people in my community pronounce months.
