This is probably one of the better arguments I've come across that shows that Palin is not a feminist.I predict that in a Palin-McCain administration, lots of alternative pronunciations will become acceptable. Whatever Sarah says and does will become acceptable. It will become acceptable once again to show favoritism in hiring and promotions to the less competent cute girl who winks and wiggles and "struts her stuff" in front of the bosses. I'm kinda glad because we need to get rid of all these unattractive, dull women in high places.
Thats good. I can tell my 8 year old granddaughter to stop wasting her time studying and trying to answer exam questions she doesn't know the answer to. All she has to do is watch Sarah Palin to learn the nuances of winking and wiggling and acting cute and then she can just tell her third grade teacher with a wiggle and a wink and a grin, "By golly, teach...can I call ya' teach? I'm not gonna answer these questions, but doggonit I'm gonna talk to my classmates instead, cuz I'm a MAV-RICK!" Based on the way America has turned, that should be enough for an "A".
The good news is, this will save a lot of parents money on expensive college tuition - but only if your daughter is "cute."
I can't wait, cause my granddaughter is verrrry cute.
The McCain campaign disagrees with you.Perhaps you'd like to demonstrate for us how ˈnyü-, ÷-kyə-lər would be pronounced then
Yes, pronounced as you say, nukyaler. For those unaware, Ameican has diverse accents which produce different pronunciations of the same word. In this case, reality, and Websters, demonstrate a clear conservative bias in Palin's favor. What I find odd is that the same side of the aisle that tells us we can't correct ebonics will poke fun at Palin and her particular accent.The way it is pronounced. I did not know that the existence of the schwa was a secret. Your referenced pronunciation is nuk-ya-ler. I remember learning about the schwa in Elementary School, I thought the word was cool.
As I said, I'm sorry you missed itI do not think you did. Since Governor Palin said she was Joe Six-Pack
"Palin said if she and John McCain win, they will "put government back on the side of the people of Joe Six-pack like me.""

It seems rather clear. Did you look up her comments to see context? If you have been arguing for the last 15 pages that Governor Palin represents Joe Six-Pack, but was not a member of Joe Six-Pack, you have done so incorrectly. I do not know how you missed her comments.
Yes that diversity can be seen between those that payed attention in class and those that did not.Yes, pronounced as you say, nukyaler.

Metathesis in EnglishYou missed this at your link
nyoo- or, by metathesis, -kyuh-ler.
So that's two dictionaries on my side.
Here's the actual definition of metathesis, from Webster'sMetathesis in English
"Metathesis is one of the most common types of speech errors"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metathesis_(linguistics)
And what should we surmise about those Kennedys who like to have a gahden pahtyDoes this mean that if somebody says, "Wartch," or "Warsh," they are automatically idiots?
How about on American Chopper, when the Teutels ALWAYS say, "Ideer" instead of "Idea"? Are they morons?
Here: ˈnyü-, ÷-kyə-lər
I'm saying one that her claim was to represent Joe Six Pack and that the term doesn't refer to what many of my left leaning friends here alluded
Indeed it is a switching of one sound or letter for another. It's an accepted error. Just as irregardless, despite it being redundant and ridiculous, has seeped its way into 'common' vernacular. Or is that vernaclear?Here's the actual definition of metathesis, from Webster's
transposition of two phonemes in a word (as in the development of crud from curd or the pronunciation \\ˈpər-tē\\ for pretty)
Demonstrating once again that reality has a conservative bias
Given that you don't seem to understand that metathesis in english linguistics is speech error of course you think that.Regardless of what the Republican speech writers did to prevent Democrats from focusing on pronunciation, the dictionary and reality seem to favor me
Accepted of course being the keyword and "error" not appearing in the definition for metathsisIndeed it is a switching of one sound or letter for another. It's an accepted error.

I could care less how she pronouces the word. It is odd though that she didn't take note with all the hoopla GW received over it.
All it means is she has memorized a partisan talking point and parrots it any chance she gets.The fact that she understands the phrase while others don't certainly demonstrates that she has a better grasp on vocabulary than some

Ahhh... Well, I'm certainly happy to know that you are personally able to make such determinations.
I know you're not kidding but wow. It's kind of sad to read these types of posts. Although, it sort of makes sense given that McCain is anti-education...fits right in really.Accepted of course being the keyword and "error" not appearing in the definition for metathsis

A good friend of mine, who is an English Professor (of all things), always says "nucular". I cannot imagine why he does, but I honestly think he doesn't even know that's how is he pronouncing it.Pronouncing nuclear as "nucular" is in fact incorrect, but has been included in some dictionaries (not all) due to increased usage.
