This is a small and mostly unimportant point, but I thought the days of pronouncing “nuclear” as “nucular” ended with Dubya, yet I’m still hearing otherwise intelligent folks mispronouncing this rather simple word all over the place. Why?
@GEAUXJayna I think if it as intellectual laziness. If you can read you can see all those vexing syllables and how they line up. I mean, really.
