Untitled[edit]

I don't believe this is a long enough definition for the word Nuclear. It doesn't have enough detail either.

Then add the detail instead of complaining. --snoyes 22:03 Feb 27, 2003 (UTC)


I can't believe it. I enter a good site on your article, and I'm accused of vandalism! Thanks a lot Snoyes! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.213.111.51 (talk) 15:18, 30 September 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there were several problems with your addition. Firstly, this is a disambiguation page, not an article page. If you think your link is relevant to one of the topics listed on this page, you should go to that topic, and add the link there. But also, the link you added does not resolve to a real web site. Maybe you mistyped it? BTW, it wasn't snoyes who reverted your edit. Securiger 15:55, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

OK.

Pronunciation?[edit]

Is the pronunciation really under dispute? Are there any sources for pronouncing it as "new-kyoo-ler"?

It has to be "new-clee-ar", phonetically. "new-kyoo-lar" is just a sort of slang.

"Nucular" is how George Bush pronounces it. It's immature and childish. Shandristhe azylean 22:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Granted that the accepted standard pronunciation is "new-clee-ar", that is not what the IPA phonetic transcription in the article now indicates. It needs to be corrected. I am not familiar with the technicalities of using the IPA font. Is there someone out there who could fix it? --A R King 19:33, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nuclear is a form of the word nucleus. It only belongs in a dictionary, not in an encyclopedia.David R. Ingham 00:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunc, dispute[edit]

Was going to suggest that the now WIDESPREAD ("wrong") nucular pronunciation means that this article needs to mention this debate, but I seem to have been beaten to it. It is elitist vs the common man, it is partisan and political. It is also a bone of contention in UK or USA use of English. The shortened form "nuke" has led to this situation. What a surprise that Bush's enemies are already in evidence here. Some would say that if his pronunciation of certain words is all you can find to complain about then he must be an superb President. We need to mention that the different pronunciations are a cause of substantial argument and mutual antagonism. There aren't many words you can say that about. --81.105.251.160 15:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
