Sixth, Not Sickth

[hellywelly4]

At last! I have always disliked the pronunciation of 6th as sickth instead of sixth. Now on PM tonight it was declared that SIXTH is correct. Yippee. (Some people are easily pleased).

I still cannot see the difference. :-(

[ummmm]

The difference between the two is hardly noticeable.

They are very similar, sixth (sicksth) has a momentary extra s sound in it.
