American accent: plumage

[thedaffodils]

A Peacock taunted a Crane with the dullness of her plumage.

Hello! Is it possible Americans pronounce "plumage" as [pimige]. I mean LU is pronouced as i. I've listened this in my audio file time and again. Thanks!

Not a teacher at all

It might likely be but I only bumped into plumage - Idioms - by the Free Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia. with the two common ways to say 'plumage', a Bristish one and an American one.

Hi Philadelphia,

You're helpful. I missed the function of this.

But I don't hear how "l" is pronounced in plumage.

American: pu:

British: Pju:

Could you or someone else confirm this for me? Thanks!

American pronunciation: PLOO-mij
British pronunciation: PLYOO-mij

(If that's of any help.....)
