Question about English (US)
I’ve heard that voiceless consonants following a letter “s” become voiced. Therefore, should the word “chemistry” be pronounced as “chemisdry”?

@Authan so both the “t” in mist and the “t” in tree have to be audible even if the word is pronounced slowly?

@jerkoffbuddy some people do pronounce it with a double T sound, but very quickly (never slowly)
maybe this is easier (if slowly pronounced)
"keh-miss-tree"
