Yes I see what you mean Chuck, pure common sense to pronounce an R in the word when there isn't one in it :idc:

I have a sticky brain for stuff like that. If only I could remember the important stuff.

No I would say En-vell-uped because Envelope is a different thing.

Ben thinks he sounds posh saying marmalard when he probably just sounds illiterate.

Not really... something that envelopes, a wrapping. You're just a fickle, fickle man Ben x

Do you say it as if you would the plural of envelope? I would say it as I would develop.

enveloped - en-VEL-oped
envelope - EN-vel-ope

The stress is in different places but I pronounce them the same.

Yes... but it's quite clearly an 'en' and not an 'on'.

And you're fickle x
