[Ads-l] "to ping"

[Tom Zurinskas]

This link http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ works fine for me.   One can hear pin, ping, and pink.  I can only go by what I hear, and it's ~pin, ~peeng, and ~peenk written phonetically ( the tilde indicates truespel).  https://clyp.it/2qus3qqq

Note that no English teacher in US writes phonetically as they talk, but this is doable with truespel. https://www.screenr.com/3KeN   To write phonetics easily us e the free converter at truespel.com .

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..
