The topic: It’s noo-clee-ur!

----------------------------------------------

Say it the way it’s spelled…nuclear.

nu cle ar

It is NOT noo que lur.  Look at it, look at the word.  Is it spelled nucular?  No, it’s not.  And if your daddy’s a teacher and your brother is a teacher, then for Pete’s sake, gosh darn it, whyncha let them tell ya the proper pronounciation *wink wink* (folksy enough for ya?)?

It’s not funny when Dubya (the worst president ever) says it wrong and it was like fingernails on a chalkboard to hear Palin say it at least three times last night.

No one, NObody who is obviously incapable of saying the damned word, a very important word, in this day and age, the way it should be said, will EVER get a vote from me.



I have an issue with that myself.

It is singer, or singing, not sing ger or sing ging. If you are going to try and sing (not singuh) then at least say it right when you are talking (not talkinguh) about it.

I think we found the reason America is being dumbed down. Lets hope the next four years smarten us back up.

And then there’s ath-uh-lete instead of athlete, axed instead of asked, spaded instead of spayed, acrost instead of across, warsh instead of wash, and so on and so on.  Believe me when I tell you that the schools are teaching the correct pronunciations, but when the kids get home, they are bombarded with their parents’ ignorance.  I firmly believe that America’s “dumbing down” is mainly the result of parental laziness and apathy.
