That circle is coincident with Shakespeare.
I just realized that's the root word of coincidental but pronounced differently because?
English, you're dumb.
Is it pronounced differently? I have always pronounced it the same (but without the -al, obviously)
I've always heard it as co-in-sigh-dent as the root, but that could also be a regional thing.
That's how I've heard coincide pronounced, for sure. Language do be like that.
