    Subsidence ...

    how do you pronounce it?

    It mildly irritates me when I hear people saying it like this SUB SID DENCE

    It should be pronounced SUB SI DENCE.

    Am I right or wrong and since when did it get changed to that other way lol

    subsidence is pronounced subsidence unless they are Scottish who cannot speak proper due to alcohol abuse

    I took my friend past Belvour Castle and she couldn't believe that it was pronounced 'Beaver' and don't even dare pronounce Southwell wrong around here
