Can you correct it? Is it blanket and pillow but not something else? Or is it not blanket and not pillow?

Descend is incorrect, but it is possible that may not be the case with some dialects.

hmmm I'm confused!

ok, I'm thinking now that I've heard people pronounce it deescend... in which case you're right it would be incorrect.

If car is correct and blanket is wrong then I didn’t figure out your pattern even though my words were correct on page 1.

Those of you who got it, do you understand why blanket is wrong?

Yes, but maybe there’s a regional difference?

I thought so too. That’s the only answer that makes sense. Do you pronounce it Blane-kit?

Yes. That’s exactly how I say it. I don’t know if there’s another way to say it, but it seems like there is? This pattern was very clever but also more subjective.

Those of us who pronounce it blank-it were confused here.

The way I say blank would also fit the pattern. Interesting.
