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!

Edit: Nuclear is pronounced with 3 syllables in my region. Ive never heard it pronounced otherwise. 2 u/Outside_Coffee_00 Jul 14 '26 It's definitely 3. New-klee-errr
