Variant of paintsuit for the AHD . While LPD gives ˈpæntsuːt for pantsuit, I am not sure how pants suit should be stressed --Backinstadiums (talk) 11:47, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- I'd say they're pronounced identically. —Mahāgaja · talk 14:17, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- Knowing about pantsuit I would pronounce pants suit differently to distinguish it, like I pronounce blue berry different from blueberry. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 18:16, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Vox Sciurorum: not sure whether this case is similar to black bird vs blackbird. Secondly, careful with your example because according to LPD , BrE -bər‿|i but AmE -ˌbɛr|i --Backinstadiums (talk) 19:11, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- The thing is, there's no difference between a pantsuit and a pants suit. They're just two different spellings of the same term. —Mahāgaja · talk 20:50, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
