Reference :- Sky presenter Paul Murray is in favour of nuclear energy , although he can't pronounce it.

Reference :-   Why is it that some folk can't pronounce " nuclear " , and say " nucular " instead ? 

Gosh Paul  .... when you mispronounce " nuclear " you sound ignorant regarding the topic .  Admittedly the most famous promoter of the mispronunciation " nucular " is President Bush , and perhaps you have followed his lead .  But that is a mistake .  A small mistake, to be sure , but sometimes small mistakes suggest a greater misunderstanding .   

Anyway , Ken junior reckons a short poem serves as a useful nemonic  when it comes to pronunciation .  The lads at the Sky Reply each had a go at writing one for you , and we decided this one was the best . 


                                                 It's easy to say nuclear , 

                                                 No matter how stupid we  are . 

                                                 To do it , Paul Murray , 

                                                 Don't speak in a hurry, 

                                                Then you'll do it Paul Murray ...yeehah ! 

It's not great , but easy  to remember  . Gabbo almost wrote a good one , but it was too complicated and he couldn't find an acceptable rhyme  for  " complete moron ". 

And another thing . Don't neglect your man cave Paul, it establishes your credibility . 

Your comrade , Ken .
