Comments on: Why can’t Texas politicians properly pronounce “nuclear”? https://habitablezone.com/2017/01/19/why-cant-texas-politicians-properly-pronounce-nuclear/ Tue, 07 Apr 2026 19:18:10 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: hank https://habitablezone.com/2017/01/19/why-cant-texas-politicians-properly-pronounce-nuclear/#comment-38053 hank Fri, 20 Jan 2017 05:03:33 +0000 https://www.habitablezone.com/?p=61324#comment-38053 The super-villains in the action movies all have upper-class Brit accents. They sound smart, that's how you know they're evil. REAL Americans are supposed to talk like Larry the Cable Guy. You'd think the guy running the agency responsible for our nuclear arsenal and our nuclear power industry would at least take the trouble to learn how to say it. And BTW, 'nucleus' sounds just like it's spelled; NEW-klee-us, NOT new-kew-lus. It's not that they're ignorant that steams me, its that they seem to be proud of it.
