I’m used to people pronouncing nuclear “nuke-ya-ler” (hey, as long as you are for nuclear power, I don’t care how you pronounce it). But it’s always bugged me that people pronounce realtor “re-luh-ter”. Uhh, do you pronounce real “ree-la”? And of late, I’ve notice journalists, reporting on the Iraq war, referring to the Army’s Cavalry division as the “Calvary”–i.e., the hill on which Jesus was crucified. Well, I guess I’ll always have a job.
The Nukular Calvary?
