Can I ask those from N. America how they would pronounce the word 'deaths'? My colleague from the US (Nebraska and California I believe) had occasion to use this word several times this morning, and his pronunciation was (approximately given the limitations of this system) /dez/, while I would pronounce it /deths/, where th = voiceless dental fricative.
