Pronunciation & Spelling
美式发音中，wandering /ˈwɑːndərɪŋ/ 和 squandering /ˈskwɑːndərɪŋ/ 与 laundering /ˈlɑːndərɪŋ/ 在重读元音及之后部分完全一致（/ɑːndərɪŋ/），可押韵；英式发音里 laundering 读 /ˈlɔːndərɪŋ/，这些词的 /ɒ/ 或 /ʌ/ 都与 /ɔː/ 不同，因此不押韵。wondering、thundering、blundering、plundering 拼写上都含 -undering，但重读元音是 /ʌ/，与 laundering 只是拼写近似，发音不同。
