Instead, it is pronounced like a 3-syllable word: /ˈvedʒ.tə.bəl/ (with the stress on the first syllable) This is called a d…

🌈 🥕 from my garden! 'Carrot' is a great example of a predictable stress pattern in 2-syllable nouns. Typically, we stress the first syllable /KER/ and reduce the second syllable /ət/ to get /ˈker.ət/

$social summer has the bear on the run! I was at the zoo this weekend and this grizzly bear was going crazy. Something must have spooked him. It's either @saska 's late night cryptic posting sprees, or he's worried about getting to 100k points before the airdrop. Even bears are bullish on $social 😉 [Oh, and I…
