Joe Six-Pack American?

[Baggins]

Let me axe you a pacific question. Do you have other such standards in pace fo those you wish to see as presdent? Lapel pins and respect for the flag appear to be in the same ballpark as mispronunciation of one word. I just checkin on you.

doggone it, I'll get back to you on that

 

[Baggins]

LOL this thread is funny. Someone slightly mispronounced a word which is really pointless..people from different parts of the country pronounce things slightly differently.

Nuclear is not pronounced new cue ler in any part of any country.

What sort of twit inserts vowels into a simple 7 letter words where none exist?

It is an unacceptable pronunciation according to an American dictionary, god knows what a proper guardian of the ENGLISH language like the OED would make of such cretinism.

Do you pronounce clear as cue ler?

No

Then why would you pronounce Nuclear as New cue ler?

It is pronounced exactly the same in nuclear as it is in clear.

The depths some people will stoop to to defend the stupidity of their chosen candidate shocks me as an outsider.

Someone who couldn't pronounce simple words correctly wouldn't get within a million miles of national office in the UK, and yet you have a President and a VP candidate who see a vowel between the c and the l in the word Nuclear.

It beggars belief.

People in my area pronounce an area called "North Versailles"..North Vesrales
People in France called it "Ver Sigh"

And neither group appear to add imaginary vowels into the word, probably because they aren't morons.

Now if someone called it North Verusales or North ver oh sigh, you might raise an eye brow, because it wouldn't be about different pronunciation but about adding imaginary extra letters to a word.

However, the Democratic vice presidential candidate doesn't even know who was President during the market crash and doesn't even know when TV was invented..tells crippled people to walk..and yet he is smarter?

If he can pronounce Nuclear properly it would seem that way.

Do you have difficulty pronouncing 7 letter words?

How do you pronounce Nuclear?

As indicated in wikipedia, both pronounciations are correct

People in the US that I know pronounce it Ver Sigh I would be unable to stop laughing if I heard someone pronounce Vesrales, We have a town close to called Vallejo which I sometimes hear pronounced Valley-Joe not the correct pronunciations of Vuh-Lay-Ho or Vuh-Yay-Ho and I cannot believe that there are some people that are really that dense.

 

[Allahuakbar]

Really? And how am I pronouncing them? Please demonstrate that

Very well, in post 129, you claimed nuclear was legitimately pronounced nuculur. I asked in post 134, where it said that and provided a link to the Merriam Webster online dictionary. You plagiarized this in post 136 saying...

Here: ˈnyü-, ÷-kyə-lər

Now, you did not know how to read pronunciation, being completely unaware of the symbology in question, thinking that the "kyə" was pronounced "cue".

Now in post 219 you say that "muscular" is similar to "nuclear" providing "məs-kyə-lər" (without citation again, which is plagiarism).

It would only logically follow that you still think "kyə" is pronounced "cue". Have you admitted your error, or are you pretending you never made a mistake, while boldly stating that mistake over and over because you did not know what a schwa was?

What I know is that muscular and nuclear can rhyme according to the pronunciation symbology in Webster's.

Which you have demonstrated an inability to use correctly in repeated attempts.

 

[Grizzly]

Its been my observation that some people have a very hard time admitting error. I try not to push them too hard. I see it as more of a disablity than anything.

I see your problem You're attributing to me something I never said. Nucular rhymes with muscular, not cue lar. Not that I've cleared that up for you, the rest of your post confirms my points (your dubious allegations of plagiarism aside). Thank You

You can pick nits about the pronunciation if you wish, but by any measure, Palin's knowledge of geopolitics and the economy is rather underwhelming. She'd be hard-pressed to make it to the final round of Who Wants to be a Thousandaire--though I'm sure she would charm the audience with her down-home wit and folksy manner.

Sorry, he has committed bigger gaffes than mispronouncing words so he must be dumber.

Sorry it's pronounced Ver Sales..that is the official pronunciation according to Wiki-Pedia..NOBODY in Pittsburgh pronounces it Ver Sigh.

No one in the race has looked anywhere near as moronic as Failin Palin did with her nonsensical quotes with Katie Couric.

This is not true at all. Why you're intentionally saying something that is untrue, I do not know. You said in post 219...

"Or we can look up similar sounding words such as muscular"

You then referenced ˈməs-kyə-lər.

Since you claimed in post 129 that "nyü-, ÷-kyə-lər" was pronounced nuculur, it would only logically follow that you are pronouncing both incorrectly.

It is difficult to run from your own words, but the historical record is skewering your arguments.

From my perspective, it is not me nit pcking over pronunciation

I see your other problem now. The "nucular" spelling was introduced by someone else here:

Sarah Palin is a complete idiot, say it with me now, Nucular.

to describe Palin's pronunciation of nuclear. I responded to point out that Palin's pronunciation is actually confirmed by Webster's. It wasn't me that made the claim that her pronunciation would be spelled nucular, but I notice that you didn't confront the person who did. Meantime, I understood his spelling to reflect the nu kya lar pronunciation. Feel free to correct him if you feel so led

So when a poster said that "nuculur" was an incorrect pronunciation, and you said (post 129)...

For those who are not as well informed on some matters of vocabulary, the "nucular" pronunciation is perfectly acceptable. Please visit Websters for the definition of nuclear and the acceptable pronunciations are listed along with audio versions

..you were not claiming that "nuculur" was an acceptable pronunciation?

When asked about this specifically, you referenced M-W and...

"Here: ˈnyü-, ÷-kyə-lər"

...in post 136.

You said "nuculur" was in M-W and referenced "ˈnyü-, ÷-kyə-lər" as evidence.

Unfortunately "ˈnyü-, ÷-kyə-lər" does not translate as "nuculur" as you claimed.

Now you are claiming never to have said any of it? It is still in the posts. How can you claim to never have said what is still there?

Think of it this way nucular = ˈnyükyələr. Maybe that will help

Now you are claiming never to have said any of it? It is still in the posts. How can you claim to never have said what is still there?

My claim was that somebody else introduced the nucular spelling. You still haven't confronted that person I notice. Everything I stand by since you have repeatedly, although unwittingly, confirmed and verified what I have said

Only if you cannot read pronunciations. Nucular does not equal nyükyələr. You still do not know what a schwa is. You have to learn how to read pronunciation symbology before commenting on it.

You embraced it, it does not matter who introduced it. Are you trying to blame someone else for your mistakes now?

Wow, nuclear is still going on? "Nucular" is not in the dictionary nor is its pronunciation. The end.

Why would he go after me since I was making fun of her pronunciation hence the spelling of Nucular.

The trouble of course being that we don't have a pronuciation symbolism for "nucular", but it was offered as ˈnyü-, ÷-kyə-lər

You embraced it, it does not matter who introduced it.

I responded to it, not embraced it

Are you trying to blame someone else for your mistakes now?

If I make a mistake this year, I'll own up to it, but so far, so good
