Common mistakes of rescind pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "re-SCIND" instead of the correct "re-SIND" (ˈrɪsɪnd). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the second syllable.
  2. Incorrect vowel sound: Some may pronounce the first syllable as "ree" instead of "ri" (ˈrɪsɪnd). Tip: Focus on the short "i" sound in the first syllable to avoid this mistake.
  3. Adding extra syllables: A common mistake is pronouncing "rescind" as "re-scind" (ˌrɛsˈɪnd), adding an unnecessary vowel sound. Tip: Keep it to two syllables: "re-SIND" (ˈrɪsɪnd) for clarity.
  4. Confusing with similar words: Some may confuse "rescind" with "recede" or "recind," leading to incorrect pronunciation. Tip: Familiarize yourself with "rescind" (ˈrɪsɪnd) to distinguish it from other similar-sounding words.
  5. Overemphasizing consonants: Some speakers may overly emphasize the "s" sound, making it sound harsh. Tip: Maintain a smooth pronunciation without exaggerating the consonant sounds in "rescind" (ˈrɪsɪnd).
