Hi,
What is the correct pronunciation of the letter "s" in the following underlined words - "s" or "z":
1) The British Conservative Party
2) Is the UK a conservative society?
3) Conservation of Energy
4) I had a useful conversation with my supervisor yesterady.
I have heard "Conservative Party" pronounced both ways on the BBC!
I was told by an English language teacher from London that the "s" should always be pronounced as "s", not "z". However, there are regional variations within the UK, he said. it depends on where the speaker is from.
What do the experts say?
