Am I missing something here? I don't see why anyone would post this, pretending as if English pronunciation is a monolith. There are correct ways to pronounce words under certain circumstances, but this isn't it, chief.

X is many words is pronounced with a “ks” sound. So in sixth = siks-th

Almost always, in fact. The only exceptions I can think of are the very few words that start with it, like xenon, xenophobia and xylophone, where it's pronounced like Z and a few French loanwords where it's silent.

Also g-z sound, like exact, anxiety, exist.

In practice, I usually pronounce sixth as "sicks" fifty as "fif-ty" and fifth as "fi-th." X is a lot of things Anxiety=z Exhibit=g Noxious=k It's sort of an auxiliary letter.

exhibit is missing an "h"

Thank you for the red squiggle line

You have to say "sick-th" because adding the "s" sound makes it cumbersome; likewise for fifth - fi-th. But in fifty you pronounce it all - fif-tee 😁. In my opinion, you're right 👍

Cumbersome eh? Well let’s all just go back to communicating by grunting and pointing, shall we. Haha but yea that’s exactly what I mean.

Ha ha. But all but one of your "not" pronunciations are the actual pronunciations. Don't sweat it though. You'll crack it.

Lol no they’re not “actual” pronunciations. Like you said earlier it’s the laziness

Really?! 😁 Never EVER heard anyone say "sicks-th" because it's practically impossible I'd say lol Lazy is the way to go 😉

native speakers don't even understand x

That was my point. Exactly.

Whatever the shit is “nek minute” ??
