Pronunciation & Spelling
No common whole word rhymes with /kəˈnetikət/. The stressed syllable, spelled 'nect', is pronounced like the word 'net' /nɛt/. The final syllable is /kət/, as in the noun 'advocate' /ˈædvəkət/. Beware the lookalikes 'connect' /kəˈnɛkt/ and 'cut' /kʌt/, which are not pronounced as in 'Connecticut'.
