Miss Pronunciation XII

Miss Pronunciation is Tickled Pink!

Here’s one: short and sweet - ticklish.....examine it carefully.....

I know: There’s no sound between the ‘k’ and the ‘l’!

What would lead us to pop one in? Hmmmm? Now, Miss P, is never one to put the spelling before the pronunciation, but here is a clear case of an extra vowel (a schwa) being popped in for jollies.

So instead of being ‘tick-e-lish’,  you’re simply ‘tick-lish’.
