The sound of letter "i" in "ping" or "pink" is a long e ~ee not *sort* i ~i
as in "pin".  This is written *phonetiacally* *incorrectly all dictionaries*.
It can be heard at thefree*dictioary*.com <http://thefreedictioary.com> for
both UK and USA.  ~pin ~peeng ~peenk.


I speak the words  pin, ping, and pink.   https://clyp.it/eum4eqky


The only dictionary I know of that has this notation correct is truespel
book 3 version of the VOA beginner's dictionary for the top 1500 words of
US English..
