Pronunciation & Spelling
status /ˈsteɪtəs/ and stratus /ˈstreɪtəs/ rhyme with hiatus /haɪˈeɪtəs/ because their stressed syllable is /eɪtəs/. apparatus also ends in -atus, but American English usually says /ˌæpəˈrætəs/, so it does not rhyme there; British English /ˌæpəˈreɪtəs/ does. Do not assume that the spelling -atus always means the sound /eɪtəs/.
