Usage: The disyllabic pronunciation \\ˈfō-lij\\ is very common. Some commentators insist that foliage requires a trisyllabic pronunciation because of its spelling, but words of a similar pattern such as carriage and marriage do not fall under their prescription. The pronunciation \\ˈfȯi-lij\\ is disapproved because it suggests the transposition of the l and i in the spelling. It is not as common as \\ˈfō-lij\\ and may be associated with the nonstandard spelling foilage.

foliage plant
