The second pronunciation (/-uËst/) is used for the ânot accustomedâ sense (especially in informal speech), and is a devoicing of the terminal /zd/ to /st/ under the influence of the /t/ of the following to. In very informal situations the final stop is often elided completely, leading to the pronunciation of âunused toâ as a single word /ËÊn.juËs.tÉ/. In formal speech the second (/-uËst/) pronunciation is frequently proscribed in favour of the fully voiced (/-uËzd/) pronunciation, which is acceptable for either sense and is normally used for the ânot usedâ sense in all registers.
