Also, I don't see how claiming that many native English speakers are practically illiterate is relevant to rampant mispronunciation. Literacy has nothing to do with speech; it is the faculty to communicate via the written word, not the spoken. | ||

When I was younger I always thought Archon was pronounced "Ar Chon" instead of "Ark On" Alot of my friends pronounce Steppe as "Steppy", lmfao | ||

That book seems very interesting though. Will definitely check that one out when I get the chance. | ||

Keep in mind that while [PRAY-lood] is given as an alternative pronunciation in many dictionaries, [PREL-yood] is still the recommended choice. I tend to stay away from derivative forms of words, unless common usage has played an especially dramatic role in changing the word (for example, advertisement). That's mostly just my preference, but from what I've noticed, many people are unaware of [PREL-yood], so I felt I should throw it out there. | ||
