The word "children" is being pronounced ~choolddin for the past few years (where ~chool rhymes with "wool"). I spoke "We wool see our chooldrin." into my Samsung text to speech messenger and it wrote; "We will see our children", so this voicing is recognized. I don't know why the word "children" should not be pronouncednn exactly as it's spelled. I guess they're not teachng phonics in schools anymore.
