   Do you have to pronounce t if it is in brackets?

   • If the t is in brackets, does it mean that I don't have to pronounce it? I'm asking because I'm a native English speaker and I never pronounce the "t" in "exactly". They failed to put brackets around (ig), but you also don't have to pronounce the first syllable. You pretty much don;t have to do anything.

Google offers no explanation at all for its convention, and unforuntately Merriam-Webster's pronounciation key only explains the sounds used, not all aspects of the notation.

   Feb 9, 2018 · I think the examples are the author's own, and I don't think the author is a native speaker of a common dialect of English. Some examples only make sense in a rhotic accent (seemingly treated as default by Merriam-Webster), while others don't make sense in the same accent. Some examples: Oxford has /wəːk/, not the /wɝk/ implied. M-W has ...
