Do you pronounce the word "nuclear" correctly?

Or do you say it "nucular"?

It's new-kleer

Same goes for
'real-ter'
Not 'ree-la-ter'

@ImpeccablyImperfect Hate that one. Same with anyone who says "excape" or "excetera".

@SW-User hahaha
Or this one: 'all the sudden' instead of 'all of a sudden'. :)

The most widely accepted correct pronunciation of the word is “NEW-clee-er.”
In this case (somewhat unusually), the word is spelled exactly how you are supposed to say it.
Put the pronunciation on the first syllable. The "er" is pronounced like the "ur" in the word "fur."

@Some1Else You'd think a word with intuitive spelling would not so frequently fall victim to mispronunciation but evidently it's a tongue-twister for some!

@SW-User So called grammar Nazis are often not very good at English... With respect your grasp of the language is OK but not great.An example.. Your first sentence and further what you seem to know, or don't, about English in general. Was a university lecturer/professor
I've had my say and will stop here

@SW-User And yet you've made numerous errors. It's you who knows little about English, buying into "pop" notions of English being "wacky" when it's often no more inconsistent than any other language. I feel sorry for your students.
SW-User
@SW-User Oh dear...Yes i know a great deal about English. Grammar Nazis get on my nerves😉
