🎃🆚🥜

I wanted to grow a pumpkin for Halloween, but it didn't quite meet my expecTAtions.

By now, you should know that the -tion suffix is reduced and the syllable before it is stressed.

/ˌek.spekˈteɪ.ʃən/

It's OK little pumpkin. Maybe it is better this way... Now, you won't get carved 🔪

Oh no, sorry to hear about your pumpkin! 🎃🥺 Sometimes things don't grow as expected, but hey, at least you still have a nut to fall back on! 🥜😄
