Diferenças na pronúncia em dicionários diversos
Hello everybody.
I've noticed a lot of discrepancies in dictionaries and online regarding phonetics and pronunciation.
Keep in mind I'm using the Merriam-Webster phonetic system.
Let's consider the verb "accelerate" for example.
The Merriam-Webster describes its pronounciation as:
\ ik-ˈse-lə-ˌrāt\
On the other hand Google dictionary describes it beginning with the schwa sound:
/əkˈseləˌrāt/
And then an American friend of mine says it is prounounced with an "a" as in apple at the beginning. People on YouTube also pronounce it that way.
/ak-ˈse-lə-ˌrāt/ (Merriam-Webster phonetic system).
And I've noticed that these discrepancies happen all the time with a bunch of words and this has really been a pain in my ass lately.
Could you give some explanation for it?

É simples. Do mesmo modo que no Brasil existem vários sotaques, em inglês também tem. Então uma palavra pode ser pronunciada de modo diferente em regiões diferentes.
