Hello everyone,

The standard British (RP) pronunciation is: /I'moutIkon/, whereas the General American pronunciation is /I'moudiKa:n/.

I am very sorry for the clumsy 'phonetics' I've used. As you can see, I haven't yet figured out how to type IPA characters.

ou = the diphthong found in most, cold, home, etc. The realisation of this diphthong is slightly different in RP

I would pronounce it as [ imotikAn ]. (ee-moh-tee-kahn). (In my particular dialect "o" is generally a monophthong)

0>> whereas the General American pronunciation is /I'moudiKa:n/. d = flapped /t/02<<

00Interesting. I would say it with a [ t ] rather than an alveolar flap. I think it's one of those words in which the /t/ is pronounced as spelt. Perhaps because it is such an uncommon word, or maybe the stress. For example, I would say "atom" as [ æ4@m ] , but "atomic" as [ @t
