Talk:-on

Pronunciation

When this is a "true suffix" (electron /ɪˈlɛk.tɹɑn/), it is usually strong. When it is just an "ending" (common) it is usually weak, but there are a number of exceptions (e.g., coupon) and words where speakers disagree (lexicon). In many cases British English prefers a weak vowel, but American English a strong vowel (such as Amazon) --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:02, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
