The spelling of the word "ethridge" can be confusing. It is pronounced /ˈeθrɪdʒ/ in IPA phonetic transcription. The "e" is pronounced as the short "e" sound in "bed," followed by "th" as in "thin." The "r" is then pronounced, followed by "id" as in "bid." Lastly, "ge" is pronounced as "j." So "ethridge" is pronounced "ETH-rij." To make sure you're pronouncing it correctly, try breaking it down into phonetic sounds and practicing them individually.
