how do you say this word?

[Ben Around]

I say it like your wife & SIL. Raised in Western NY. My wife says it the same way (raised in the upper Midwest)

Based on the responses here, I am thinking this is not regionally influenced.

I think most people say cumf-ter-bull. That's how I do.

Strange how it's actually difficult for me to say that. Easier to drop that r.

I say it like your parent do

Com- fuh- ta- ble

My parents still (after living here since the 60s) have that clipped British-Indian accent...and say com-for-tuh-bul. You can hear the o.

I say it like you do but I'm not American.

Kind of like temperature. Most people seem to drop the first R and say tempa-chure.

[ForStarters]

From Michigan, I say "comfter-bul."

I also pronounce temperature, "tempra-chure"
