I really dont know how people cant pronounce this word: Nuclear.

Ill try to make a pronunciation key thingy

noo-kleer (as in clear)

Some people like George Dubya say it like this:


noo-ku-lar(as in circular)

Ok, which is right? And sorry for the crappy pronunciation keys

lol. I think I'll ask some of the locals of Hull....they prob don't even know what it means...(kidding, people in Hull just have a reeeeeally unaudible accent.)

I say New-clear because I'm some northern, southern halfbreed and lived in the middlelands (UK) most of my life. I have a weird accent...:cry:

it's new-clee-ar (three syllables), not new-cleer or new-cue-lar (or nuke-u-lar)

I vote for a filter to change nuclear to something funnier.

I say it kinda like "New Clear", the way it's technically supposed to be pronounced.

Noo-clear Chair-no-bill.

On a similar note, why do some people say Chair-nob-ill? I think that it doesn't sound nice.

I say nu-cle-ar, which is the correct way of saying it as far as I know. I can't see how anyone can say it any differently really.
