And yes I had a famous celeb. A wrassler who broke his ankle. I didn't take care of him myself, but he was in the facility I worked in at the time. He doesn't wrassle any more, but he is quite famous.

Both are correct pronunciations. :D

Note: Being from the same family, those 2 presidents are from the same geographic location. Which would explain their "different from yours" pronunciation of nuclear. And the third president, well don't even get me started on the third. :uhoh3:

I would love to see a pronunciation from the same dictionary 20 years ago...Often the vernacular of a generation wrangles its way into "officiality" (due mainly to frequency of use and familiarity)

besides, "ain't" is in the same dictionary...you do the math

;)

HIPPA sucks. We had 4 hours of HIPPA training earlier this year, and have to complete another training module by January 31st.

Anyway, I CAN say that I once had to insert a #16 Jelco on a "member" of the group "The Outlaws". He/she got very ill during a concert tour near where I worked. Very nice person..but very sick....:o

Thank you. I was going to say that pronunciations can be regional. My husband says "ape - ricot" for apricot and I say "ap - ricot". I say "all -mond" and he says "aaahh - mond".

It's not about lack of intelligence.

Not flaming here at all but alot of people have still called it HIPPA since being corrected - I think it not a big deal and LOVE the happy little hippo song . . .:D

And I agree that we shouldn't be mentioning names. I wouldn't want my name mentioned.

And to the original question, no.

But I have seen Clint Eastwood in the grocery store. When I was working on the Queen Mary I gave a tour to Tim Conway and family, met the Beachboys, Wolfman Jack, Rick Springfield, met the lady who played Edith on "All In The Family" while she was filming a movie. I saw Jack Klugman at LAX, helped Merle Haggard find his way out of the hospital and then saw him later in a sporting goods store with his grandkids, lived next door to Jim Neighbors (Gomer Pyle), met the Pointer Sisters backstage at a concert at Knott's Berry Farm . . . etc.

Read the rest of the definition MW gave.

usage Though disapproved of by many, pronunciations ending in \-ky&-l&r\ have been found in widespread use among educated speakers including scientists, lawyers, professors, congressmen, U.S. cabinet members, and at least one U.S. president and one vice president. While most common in the U.S., these pronunciations have also been heard from British and Canadian speakers.

"People" disapprove of the pronunciation . . that doesn't mean that both are not correct. The dictionary says both pronunciations are ok.

I disapprove of the way my husband says almond. That doesn't make it wrong. :D Just irritating - which he does on purpose to pull my chain. Maybe President Bush does the same. He most likely has heard of "the people's" disapproval.
