My mum enunciates “San Ber-NAR-dino” when speaking about San Bernardino, CA. Locals usually say “San Ber-nuh-dino.” OVER pronouncing words as they’re spelled can help with spelling.
I now know that “ridicule” is the root of the word “ridiculous.’ That helps me spell both words correctly.
Anyone have tricks for knowing when to spell a word ending in “el” (e.g. label) vs. “le” (e.g. bible, table). What rule can help me know when to use which?
