Hi [STRIKE]at[/STRIKE] all
[STRIKE]i[/STRIKE] In the word 'father' in the [STRIKE]c[/STRIKE] Cambridge [STRIKE]diconnary[/STRIKE] dictionary there [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] are [STRIKE]two prounication[/STRIKE] pronunciations; the red is [STRIKE]b[/STRIKE] British and the blue [STRIKE]i[/STRIKE] is [STRIKE]a[/STRIKE] America[STRIKE]i[/STRIKE]n:
/ˈː.ðə r / /-ðɚ/


[STRIKE]i[/STRIKE] In the [STRIKE]a[/STRIKE] America[STRIKE]i[/STRIKE]n[STRIKE] prounication[/STRIKE] pronunciation, what is the meaning of '-' and why is it not complete? The dash represents the first syllable, which is pronounced the same in BrE and AmE, according to this dictionary.
[STRIKE]t[/STRIKE] Thank you.
Please take more care with tour spelling, light87, particularly when it is just a matter of copying.

Please start your sentences and adjectives of nationality with a capital letter, and end your sentences with an appropriate punctuation mark.
