A New and Clear Candidate: An Odd Thing about Gov. Palin's Speech
In the transcript of the speech, the word "nuclear" is rendered phonetically as "new-clear," as though the speechwriter was worried that the speaker might mispronounce it.
As a foe of "nucular," I applaud the care taken to pronounce the word correctly. (I would have fixed the spelling before releasing the transcript, but I understand that people in the campaign are very busy and might not have time for such details.)
