Yoo-nicks rather than yoo-nucks surely?
- pcthrowaway 4y agoThey're both pronounced "Yoo-nicks"
- lproven 4y agoThey really are not, you know.
- Laaas 4y agoUnix: /ˈjuːnɪks/ Eunuch: /ˈjuː.nək/ Presumably the plural form retains the vowel, hence they are just a bit different.
- housecarpenter 4y agoSome accents don't distinguish those two vowels in unstressed positions.
- jamiek88 4y agoLike the Kiwi accent?! Didn't think of that! Thanks.
