I just chanced upon this piece of similarity. Does anybody here feel that the words GAS and GUESS sound similiar when mouthed? I have heard them being pronounced similarly by a lot of people. Has that heppened to you?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Not in the U.S., no. I could see how in other English-speaking countries they could sound similar because of the accent. Most notably I think Australians would maybe say those similarly.

Answer 3

I gas so.
Yas, in fact it hes. My late cousin's wife is from the Phillipines and she pronounces the short e sound as a short a. My cousin thought it was pretty saxy. ;)

Answer 4

Nope

Answer 5

It could be that those people whom you here, Are truly full of gas with their guess on how to pronounce them correctly!

Answer 6

Not if you speak with Australian accent. We can tell the difference because they don;t sound at al the same over here.

Answer 7

I don't think they sound the same, and where I am from people don't say them the same...I guess it depends on where you are from though.

Answer 8

if u dont pronounce guess correctly or fully it can sound like gas

Answer 9
