Do you pronounce the word "nuclear" correctly?

Or do you say it "nucular"?

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!
