In honour of my 4 year old offspring, Miss Pronunciation, this is the first in a weekly series of pronunciation mishaps. If you have suggestions or queries, please send them in!
To premiere:
PRONUNCIATION - prənʌntsɪˌeɪʃən
Every week without fail someone asks
- So, you teach pro-noun-ciation?
I politely smile.
- No. That's a very small part of my work......and it's pro-nun-ciation
That's right folks. ProNUNciation. As in ladies, living in a convent, wearing habits.
