What does “pronounced both” mean to you? Which is the phrase used by MW to describe its parenthesis? Also, here’s Cambridge’s pronunciation guide, and how they transcribed Ire once again
Parenthesis is optional on MW, without it it reads īr, with no hyphen which is how MW marks syllable breaks. Since you don’t seem to have seen the third image in that tweet here’s cambridge’s, with no period which is how they mark syllable breaks
It’s in parentheses, meaning that’s an alternate pronunciation. “All” also marks stress on MW, does that have two syllables, too?
Paramount boss David Ellison is threatening to pull the company out of California starting October 1.
• Ellison will stay as long as the state’s attorney general, Rob Bonta, agrees to settlement talks in the antitrust case filed by 12 states seeking to block the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger.
• Oct. 1 is when Paramount will begin accruing a “ticking fee” payable to Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders of $7 million per day.
• Bonta has not publicly said what concessions from Paramount-WBD he would consider acceptable enough to take the lawsuit off the table. But the Democratic attorney general has said any remedies would need to be “structural” (i.e., divestments) rather than “behavioral” (e.g., imposing certain production quotas).
