Why this universal Chinese mispronounciation of "Usually"??!
I have been wondering about this question of how near every Chinese person I have encountered mispronounces, "usually" in the exact same way. It is as if the entire country had a seed from a single individual 大师, and every teacher since has propagated this mistake, without any English teacher since correcting it. From teenagers to 50 year olds, "Usually" is pronounced closer to "urinal". It is not as if there is any problem pronouncing "use, useful" (yo͞oZH(əw)əlē, 迂仄序理) which are similar root sounds, and appear in Chinese. Can anyone shed any light on this seemingly bizarre occurrence and circumstance?
