Pronunciation & Spelling
The final syllable of menstrual is unstressed /uəl/. Actual, casual, usual and visual all end in the same unstressed /uəl/ (spelled –ual). Annual looks similar but is pronounced /ˈænjuəl/, with /juəl/ before the l. Intellectual also ends in /tʃuəl/, but stress is on /lek/, so it is not a true rhyme with menstrual (which stresses the first syllable: MEN-stru-al).
