When you say "Thank you for watching," how would it generally be pronounced? (Don't forget the comma.) If a street performer were to say to you "Thank...watching" with a smile, I think you could figure out what he was trying to say. Those are the words you would stress. "For" when it is an unstressed position is pronounced [fər] in rapid speech, like the word "fur" which you wrote. The word stress in a sentence can change depending on your interpretation and what you want to communicate. Actors can tell you all about this. The placement of adverbs like "generally" can be pretty flexible. Structures: (active) would it + pronounce, (passive) would it + be pronounced. My preference would be the same as yours: would it + generally + be pronounced.

THANK you for WATCHING. How would it generally be pronounced. Generally, how would it be pronounced. How would it be pronounced, generally. "How would it be generally pronounced is wrong" because it implies you are asking how you would pronounce it to make it general. However, everybody would probably understand you, so don't worry about it.

Most of the time it would be "THANK you fur watching." However, you dont always emphisize anything. Generally, it would be "Generally be" but on occation "be generally" could work.
