Pronunciation & Spelling
These common adjectives all share the spelling ending '-ated' and, in American English, the final unstressed suffix /eɪtɪd/. They are not true rhymes with 'accelerated', because the stress falls on different syllables: 'accelerated' stresses the second syllable ('-cel-'), while the others stress earlier or different syllables (e.g., 'educated' stresses 'ed-', 'sophisticated' stresses 'phis-'). Avoid confusing these with words like 'excited', where the spelling '-ited' is pronounced /aɪtɪd/.
