CNN is always your source.

Can I pronounce this as 'CNN's always your source?'

Do you usually listen CNN's video. If yes, contact me. I usually listen this video and I write it down after I listened. But there are some word I can't hear clearly. If you like listen to CNN video I'll send you this video and let's try to write down the subtitle like me and compare to mine

It's like reading any other script. (1) Jack's always late. (2) Jack is always late. (3) CNN's always your source. (4) CNN is always your source. You should pronounce each of these four sentences as it is written.

Can you pronounce "Jack is always late" as "Jack's always late"?? I shouldn't think so. Are we on the same page?

- A.

Edit. Hi Nguyen, Welcome to the English Forums!
