Pronunciation & Spelling
The target ATM is normally pronounced as three letters: /ˌeɪ tiː ˈɛm/. The words hem, gem, stem, condemn, and phlegm all rhyme with the final stressed /ɛm/ sound (condemn ends in a silent -mn). Watch out: atmosphere begins with the same letters 'atm' but is pronounced /ˈætməsfɪr/, with /æt/, so it does not rhyme with ATM.
