People often mispronounce the word for someone who sells property. It’s spelled “realtor,” which should be said as “real-tor.” However, a lot of people (and I mean a lot) say “real-a-tor.” Well, that’s wrong.
There’s no extra “a” in the middle of the word. It’s not a three-syllable word, just two. You would never say “realaty” for “realty.”
I don’t know where this pronunciation started, and I hear it all the time. But, one blog post at a time, we can change the world. (Won’t someone think of the children?! The children!!)
