Incorrect IPA[edit]

Both audio recordings and how I say the word myself contradict the IPA - I and both audios use an approximant, not a tap. - Mocha2007 (talk) 20:15, 3 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Mocha2007 It looks like the "correct" (as I pronounce it, anyway) pronunciation was around for a long time and then in this edit a bunch of additional pronunciations were added. I'll create an RFV for these pronunciations so that others can weigh in. - TheDaveRoss 14:50, 2 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

thrice - pronunciations

This edit added a number of pronunciations, I am not sure if they are meant to be historical or what. Can someone who knows something about pronunciations take a look and remove or refactor these as is appropriate? If nobody jumps on it in the next little while I am just going to remove them. - TheDaveRoss 14:53, 2 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

They're dialectal. I'd recommend removing. Дрейгорич (talk) 15:58, 6 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
There's nothing wrong with adding dialectal pronunciations, although these seem overly specific. DTLHS (talk) 18:03, 6 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
The user has also made several edits like this - I have cleaned up all of them. Дрейгорич (talk) 16:04, 6 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
