    Default Can anyone pronounce nuclear correctly?

    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
    Active after a year? ZOMG.

    But yeah when i DID post a year ago I was an ass to everyone. So sorry about that. You can totally tell I used to think i was "gangsta" just by my name. Boy have I changed.

    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...
