Hello!
1- Longman Pronunciation Dictionary - 3rd Edition writes ˈplent̬ i as the better American pronunciation for the word plenty.
2- But many audio samples from other American or American version of dictionaries sound like "plenti".
Webster
Random House Dictionary
American Heritage
Oxford Advanced American Dictionary
(I have used their free online version)
3- some sound like "plendi": like:
Macmillan English Dictionary (American English)
Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary
(I have used their free online version)
4- I ask this because Longman Pronunciation Dictionary is a specialized dictionary both for BrE and AmE and an error for such a famous word is very improbable.
5- I know that in AmE, part is pronounced like "part", but "party" is more like "pardi". I know that Longman Pronunciation Dictionary knows such rules.
6- Do not pay attention to the italic t in the ˈplent̬ i.
So, is "plendi" incorrect, acceptable or better (i.e. used more in AmE)?
Thanks.
