Pronunciation

@Awesomemeeos: But /ɡuːd/ is not how good is pronounced. Do you mean that the surname is pronounced /ɡʊd/? Mr KEBAB (talk) 03:10, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr KEBAB: Correct. Sorry for the misunderstanding. — ^{they call me} AWESOMEmeeos ... [ˈɔɪ̯]! 04:25, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Awesomemeeos: I checked the LPD and you're correct. Thanks. Mr KEBAB (talk) 04:27, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Awesomemeeos: What about this guy? Mr KEBAB (talk) 04:28, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr KEBAB: Same thing. As a native speaker, I've havn't really heard anyone pronunced Goode as /ɡuːd/ — ^{they call me} AWESOMEmeeos ... [ˈɔɪ̯]! 04:37, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, we cant really be sure, it can be pronunced both ways. — ^{they call me} AWESOMEmeeos ... [ˈɔɪ̯]! 04:39, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Awesomemeeos: It's a shame that LPD just lists surnames without giving examples of people that have it and pronounce it the way LPD says (or would say) they do. Then again, such lists would have to be very long and could give a false impression of being exhaustive, when in reality they wouldn't and could never be so. Mr KEBAB (talk) 04:45, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr KEBAB: But what is the LPD? I don't understand what it is. — ^{they call me} AWESOMEmeeos ... [ˈɔɪ̯]! 04:49, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Awesomemeeos: Longman Pronunciation Dictionary. The equivalent Cambridge dictionary (Cambridge English Pronouncing Dicitonary) is abbreviated CEPD. Mr KEBAB (talk) 04:50, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr KEBAB: I hope you forgive about this mishap I actually started. It occured due to one of my friend's family happening to have the surname Goodes, where she pronunced it with a short vowel. Also top it up with Adam Goodes, whom I hear newscasters pronuncing also as such. — ^{they call me} AWESOMEmeeos ... [ˈɔɪ̯]! 04:57, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Awesomemeeos: But LPD agrees with you in saying that Goode has a lax vowel. Mr KEBAB (talk) 05:05, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
