Default Are we pronouncing correctly?!

Morning guys. So I came across dictionary.com and they have the voice pronunciation tool as well as the break up of the word to help you pronounce.

So I came across the word "Prohibition" and according to the break up, it is supposed to be pronounced: proh-uh-bish-uhn with emphasis on the BISH. Well I pronounce it pro-uh-BISH-shen instead of uhn at the end, like everyone else around me.

Well I did come from Canada and we don't have much accent. Just that instead of pronouncing again as "uhh-gen", we pronounce it "uhhh-gain". That's all I can think of for now.

Hahaha I remember my first AIM SN was AzN Sparkstar. Don't ask me why, I don't even remember. But it sounded gay.

Did you guys use ICQ back then? #98111612

You should come to the "Jersey" forum, brah. We'll slap your BISH *** around.

BTW, I've always said it how it's properly pronounced, but how often are you talking about prohibition?
