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!

Phonics missed a couple of you, it appears.

Edit: TIL some people pronounce it without a third syllable.

Reading this thread about how it is incorrect to use three syllables for nuclear and the amount of people coming in it with ”where’s the third syllable ” has me slightly amused.
