美式读音中，military /ˈmɪləˌtɛri/ 的重音在首音节，末尾 -tary 读 /ˌtɛri/。下列词与它押韵：commentary /ˈkɑːmənˌtɛri/、voluntary /ˈvɑːlənˌtɛri/、secretary /ˈsɛkrəˌtɛri/、momentary /ˈmoʊmənˌtɛri/（末尾都含 /ˌtɛri/）；necessary /ˈnɛsəˌsɛri/ 拼写是 -sary，但末尾也读 /ˌsɛri/，与 /ˌtɛri/ 押韵。注意 militia /mɪˈlɪʃə/ 以 'milit' 开头，看起来像 military，但重音在第二音节，读 /lɪʃ/，与 military 不押韵。
