..is what my husband said after hearing Palin's pronunciation "nukyelar" :D

But, as I pointed out, (and as Dictionary.com proved me out), if you look in a dictionary you will find both pronunciations including the one she used...! :lol:

Incidentally, it is also the way George W. says it, which has long been my husband's pet peeve...

(Now I won't have to listen to him complain anymore! :) :lol: )

That word

Those are regional pronunciations largely.

I know a LOT of people who say NUKULER.

Including one "nucular" engineer named Jimmy Carter.
