Commonly mispronounced words 26 - Primarily

This is another word which is pronounced in a particular way by some people, with a confidence which would lead others to believe that they are right. The word is pronounced as pry-merrily. प्राईमरिली. The sound between 'm' and 'r' is a short 'e' sound, like in 'get'. Alternatively a short unaccented syllable also is fine. However, many people very confidently pronounce it as pry-marry-Lee, which is incorrect.
