Here “bus” is pronounced like “buzz” and I didn’t realise it was weird until I went down to Devon and it was a dead giveaway that I’m a Brummie lol

    But where do you put the emphasis?

    Most people pronounce it doc-you-MEN-teh-ree. Are you saying you pronounce it doc-you-men-TERRY?

      I think it would be closest to say that the emphasis is on both the men and the tary. I wish we could post audio clips on here, I’d just record myself saying it. Doc-u-MEN-TARY.
