发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'knowledge' truly rhymes with 'college' (same stressed vowel /ɑ/ and ending /lɪdʒ/). Words like 'privilege', 'pledge', 'ledge', 'edge', and 'advantage' share the /ɪdʒ/ ending but have different stressed vowels. Be cautious of 'colleague' (/ˈkɑl.iɡ/), which looks similar but ends in /iɡ/ not /ɪdʒ/.
