A Public Service Announcement, For The Love Of Literacy

1) To properly pronounce the word 'nuclear', think 'new clear', NOT 'nuke-you-lar'.

2) The word is 'com-for-table', NOT 'comf-turble'.

3) There is no such word as 'ex-specially'. Also, that coffee drink that you think makes you sound sophisticated when you order it is NOT called 'expresso'.

4) The letter 'r' appears TWICE in the word 'library', and not at all in the word 'wash'.

5) If you don't know the proper pronunciation or definition of a word, you really should learn those things before incorporating that word into your vocabulary. Please.
