Colleen Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hehe, Grammar Apologetics. Okay, Jacob. Here's the thing. The words "milk" and "Illinois" are both spelled with the letter "i," not an "e." Therefore, they must be pronounced with the short "i" sound, not with the short "e" sound. And the guy on yourdictionary.com pronounces it correctly, no matter what you say.
