Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -ise: 'exercise' shares the exact final /saɪz/ sound (unstressed) with 'criticise'. Others like 'advertise' end in /taɪz/, 'compromise' in /maɪz/, 'surprise' in /praɪz/, and 'realise' in /laɪz/ — these are lookalikes with different consonant sounds before the vowel.
