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.

I read all the thread but I didn't find much about what I'm looking for.
I also can't pronounce "months". I can pronounce "thick, "thud", but this 'ths' is just impossible for me. How do native speakers pronounce that?
A guy said that "mons" is ok. What is the general (or at least the most common) pronunciation for that in American/British English? (months).

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.
