The ‘con’ prefix changes nothing. Consider ‘confider’ – one who confides.

ok broken into syllables: con/sid/er

well the ‘o’ and the ‘i’ are both in closed syllables .(the e is too) so that means that they are both single vowels followed by a consonant.

and when that happens, vowels are sounded with their short sounds.

if yu put two d’s in consider then i think that would change the way it sounds. making it a more stressed ‘d’ sound. i dont think that would sound too well.

:3 english is considered (<-hah) one of the hardest languages... ALSO: about Bethany and Confider... i think that Consider and Confider are two different words...Consider is the base word. The base word for Confider is Confide. And Confide doesnt have 3 closed syllables. Con/fide: the 'e' isnt closed therefore making the 'i' a long sound. So yu are just adding an -r to it and not changing the sound. it would be as if yu added an -r to Consider : Considerer ( one who considers) that does not change the sound of the 'i'. if confider were pronounced like consider: i think it would be spelled: Confidder :3
