61. “You cannot catch him:” pronounce catch so as to rhyme with match, and not ketch—as the fishermen are in the habit of saying.
62. “Who done it?” say, Who did it?
63. “The club gives an impetus to the ball:” pronounce impetus with the stress on im, and not on pe.
64. “Spain and Portugal form a peninsula:” pronounce pen-in-su-la, with the accent on in, and not on su.
65. Sar-da-na-pa-lus: pronounce it with the accent on pa, and not on ap. The latter pronunciation cannot be changed for the former, without incurring a gross error.
66. “He must by this time be almost as far as the antipodes:” pronounce antipodes with the accent on tip, and let des rhyme with ease; it is a word of four syllables, and not of three.
67. Vouchsafe: a word seldom used, but when used, the first syllable should rhyme with pouch; never say vousafe.
68. “The land in those parts is very fertile:” pronounce fertile so as to rhyme with myrtle. Ile in such words must be sounded as ill, with the exception of exile, senile, gentile, reconcile, and camomile, in which ile rhymes with mile.
69. Benefited: often spelt benefitted, but incorrectly.
70. “Gather a few ears of corn for dinner:” pronounce gather so as to rhyme with lather, and not gether.
