I hate when people say "nucular" instead of "nuclear."

Wow it's really strange that you should post this now... a girl in class today kept saying "nucular" and I finally told her that she sounded like a bumbling idiot.

This topic has nothing to do with Palin and the debate, I can sense it. I wonder how shes handles ASK.

I wonder if it is based on regional accent? I used to think it was just because people didn't know any better, then I listened to an interview with members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and even the head honcho said "nucular."

At least we haven't changed the word like the Brits apparently did with "cacao" since they couldn't say it. :p

Palin isn't from Pennsylvania. :confused:

Seriously, if a fair number of high ranking officials in the NRC can't say it properly, perhaps there is some other underlying reason?
