Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words share the suffix '-tion' pronounced /ʃən/. However, rhyme with 'distortion' (/dɪˈstɔːrʃən/) requires matching stressed vowel /ɔːr/; only 'portion' (/ˈpɔːrʃən/) does. Words like 'station' stress a different vowel. For similar spellings with different pronunciations, compare with '-sion' (/ʒən/) words like 'vision'.
