traderx...has it occurred to you that you can pronounce "nuclear" properly with a southern accent? palin isn't a southerner, but an overacheiving lightweight no more qualified than trainwreck GW is for his position. Taleban is just as correct as Taliban, but tal-uh-bon is more tractor pull bushspeak

It has and I have friends who do pronounce it correctly.

I posted in reference to the linked article by an esteemed Berkeley professor of semantics or some such mess. His diatribe about Bush having heard the word pronounced correctly at Yale is what set me off.

My point was/is this: persons from Brooklyn, Boston, Northeast Michigan and California could all pronounce nuclear wrongly and somehow, someway, this jerk from Berkeley will hone in on the Southerner.

He seemed to let Clinton off the hook though. Bush clearly did it on purpose because he always does it. Clinton only does it 50% of the time, so that somehow makes it OK.

Let's see now...I do recall someone else having trouble with this three syllable word....

Hmmm. Seems as if the first name began with J and the last with C. He turned out to be as much of a disaster almost as something "nuclear". BTW, I've noticed a lot of people mispronounce the word. Big deal!!
