Then, the dictionary is wrong.
Based upon your past history of posts here, I figured you'd say that.


The dictionary's explanation violates the rules of English pronunciation.
If you disagree, explain why, in detail. If you believe the word we're
discussing is an exception, explain why.

So... *all* the dictionaries are wrong, and you are right?

Clue: Look up the etymology of a word to get an idea why it's pronounced
weird. ("crappie" was borrowed from French "crapet" I thought it was
gonna be something German with an umlaut)

OK. That makes sense.
