Subject: Re: supervisor/coupon



I've never heard /sju/ in "supervisor" either, but the

issue calls to mind a discussion I recently had with

some friends of mine.

One of my friends pointed out to me on Halloween that

while everyone else in our group was using the /u/

pronunciation of "costume," I was using the /ju/

pronunciation. It led to further discussion, and I

realized that I use /ju/ in:

new/news/newspaper/knew

stew

dew (but not "do")

etc.



But I'm also not terribly consistent with these

pronunciations, with the exception of "costume."

I'm led to the belief that these are recent

acquisitions, but I have no recollection of any

change over time.
