Can We Have a World Leader Who Knows How to Say Nuclear?

Postby Jennifer Smith » October 2nd, 2008, 3:55 pm

..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: )
..I press on to take hold of that
for which Christ took hold of me.
-Phil 3:12

Those are regional pronunciations largely.

I know a LOT of people who say NUKULER.
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

Including one "nucular" engineer named Jimmy Carter.
