Need a pronunciation tip? Ask Howjsay

Download Squad linked to this neat site in early December:

How often have you started arguing with a friend over the correct pronunciation of a word? You know, the kind of word that you read all the time, but suddenly realize you’ve never heard spoken out loud. Well, before you beat your friend to a bloody pulp, you might want to check out howjsay, an online pronunciation dictionary.

Howjsay is simple, yet effective. You type in a word and if it has the word, it will highlight it in pink on a new screen and you’ll hear how to say it. If they don’t have the word, it will bring up words that are close to the spelling.
