"Device" vs "Delete" pronunciation [closed]

Solution 1:

The Oxford English Dictionary has pronunciations
device Brit. /dᵻˈvʌɪs/, U.S. /dəˈvaɪs/, /diˈvaɪs/
delete Brit. /dᵻˈliːt/, U.S. /dəˈlit/, /diˈlit/
which denies your British/American difference for these two words.


It seems ᵻ means "free variation between /ɪ/ and /ə/".
