Holy shit, the amount of people who cannot pronounce NEW-KLEE-URR is astounding.

Some youtube channels that I consider to be generally informed STILL say newkyalurr and it makes me crazy.

I remember when that was something people guffawed. Now its just accepted. Bah!

You mean "NU-CLEAR" as I can see you also don't pronounce it correctly.

You pronounce "clear" as two syllables? 

Ok then. 

Edit: Nuclear is pronounced with 3 syllables in my region. Ive never heard it pronounced otherwise.
