Normally we read estuary as /'estjʊ(ə)rɪ/, but for convenience, sometimes we can read it as /'estrɪ/?
@oristarA,
I normally read and pronounce it as es choo ary. So far as reading it as something else for convenience, I'm afraid it would affect my spelling.
@oristarA,
I never heard of that shortened pronunciation before. Estuary read [es-choo-er-ee] isn't such a difficult word to pronounce.
