\"possibleIn the English language, the letter “i” usually has two possible pronunciations:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sharp “i” as in “like.”<\/li>\n
  2. Soft “i” as in “pin.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I said, “usually.” Like so many other rules of the English Language, there are exceptions to this rule.<\/p>\n

    You would never imagine that the vowel “i” would be pronounced “uh.” Uh, um, yea!<\/p>\n

    Let’s break down the word “pos-i-ble.”<\/p>\n

    If I say “pos i ble” I’m saying wrong!<\/p>\n

    The correct pronunciation is “pos-uh-ble.”<\/p>\n

    It makes you wonder, “how is that even possible?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
