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 .
