Pronunciation & Spelling
Final sound: cigarette (/ˌsɪɡəˈrɛt/) and barrette (/bəˈrɛt/) end in /rɛt/, while cassette ends in /sɛt/; all share the final /ɛt/ heard in /mɪnɝɛt/. Spelling warning: caret looks like minaret's -aret ending but is said /ˈkærət/, and garret is /ˈɡærɪt/, so do not judge them by spelling.
