Notwithstanding I have Mr. Sheridan, Mr Nares, Dr. Kenrick, W. Johnston, Mr. Perry and the professors of the Black Art themselves, against me in the pronunciation of this word, I have ventured to prefer the regular pronunciation to the irregular. The adjective sooty has its regular sound among the correctest speakers, which has induced Mr. Sheridan to mark it so; but nothing can be more absurd than to pronounce the substantive in one manner and the adjective derived from it by adding y in another. The other orthoepists, therefore, who pronounce both these words with the oo like u, are more consistent than Mr. Sheridan, though, upon the whole, not so right.

There is an affected pronunciation of this word so as to rhyme with port. This affectation, however, seems confined to a few in the upper ranks of life, and is not likely to descend to their inferiours, as it does not appear to have made any progress among correct and classical speakers.

fined to those words where p precedes it, and to
the word fort.

Some respectable speakers have attempted to give the French sound to the diphthong this word and its compound resource, as if w ten source and resource; but as this is contrai to analogy, so it is to general usage.
