Common Pronunciation Traps & Learner Mistakes
The Trap: Pronouncing a hard, aspirated [tʰ] in casual conversation can sound overly formal in North America.
How Native Speakers Say It: In American English, a single "t" between vowels quickly taps against the alveolar ridge like a soft "d" ([ɾ]). In British English, maintain a crisp aspirated [tʰ].
Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "binarity" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "binarity is" sounds like "binarity-iz").

Shifts primary stress to the antepenultimate syllable (two syllables back).

Example Sentences (3)
- “The binarity of even an obvious pair of opposites like male:female rests on a restricted domain that excludes hermaphrodites, beings with no sex organs (for whatever reason) and so on. While binarity is undoubtedly an essential feature of oppositeness, it is not, on its own, sufficient. There are many situations where a domain is construed with only two members, but oppositeness seems to be absent.”
