                      We insert a “y” sound in the word “executive.”

                                       We pronounce it as
                                        “egg-ZEK-yuh-tiv”




                             This word is often mispronounced.

                     You can’t see the letter “y,” but we pronounce it.




                         “He was promoted to an executive position.”
