Dear Colleagues
Do you know the difference in pronunciation of the word "minute" in the following two sentences
Wait a minute, please
I don't care about minute things
Of course you know that "minute" in the first sentence is a noun, but in the second is an adjective
The two words are identical in letters, but differently pronounced
minute (n) /ˈmɪnɪt/
minute (adj.) /maɪˈnju:t/
