Americans, how do we pronounce the past participle of read?
From Merriam Webster:
read /'ri?d/ (base form)
read /'r?d/ (simple past)
Do we pronounce the past participle /'ri?d/ or /'r?d/? I ask this question because the dictionary doesn't show the pronunciation for the past participle.
read /'ri?d/ (base form)
