Howdo you pronounce genuine?: Usage Guide
The objectionwhich some commentators
make to the pronunciation \ˈjen-yə-ˌwīn\
is perhaps occasioned by the fact that
it is more frequent among those with less schooling.
However, this variant isheard in
the speech of cultured or highly educated speakers
sufficiently frequently for it to be recognized as a widespread pronunciation at all social levels.
This variant was recorded as early as 1890
and appears to be simply a long-standing spelling pronunciation.
