The word is "NUCLEAR". [noo-klee-er]
It is NOT "NUCULAR". [nook-you-ler] The word is "NUCLEAR". If you are going to call into a nation wide, talk radio show, please try not to sound like a complete idiot.

U.S. presidents that have used this pronunciation include Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton,[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucular#cite_note-Slate-4][5][/url] Dwight D. Eisenhower, and George W. Bush. Other politicians who have used this pronunciation include Vice Presidents Walter Mondale and Dick Cheney and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucular#cite_note-Slate-4][5][/url][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucular#cite_note-Nunberg-5][6][/url][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucular#cite_note-6][[/url]7]

Ill remind my father of that next time he gets called in to work on the water supply at a power plant.
FWIW he's worked on water treatment and cooling systems for power plants all over the SW since the 70's and says "nook-ya-lur" Tomato=tomoto |

There's a state that's northeast of California called Nevada. It's pronounced nuh-VAH-duh. There's a little town in SW Missouri called Nevada, and it's pronounced nuh-VAY-duh. Lebanon, the country, has three syllables. Lebanon, MO, is pronounced LEB-nun. Norfolk, VA, is pronounced nor-FUCK or nor-FOLK, but Norfolk, NE is pronounced NOR-fork. I loves me some regional dialect. |
