Dennis Miller addressed this very question on his great 1988 (20 years ago?!!! aiyeee!!!) release, The Off-White Album:

<<Is it nuclear or new-koo-ler? You know, I've actually heard U.S. Senators on C-SPAN as new-koo-ler. Now consider me reactionary, but I don't think you should vote on this shit until you learn how to pronounce it.

I mean, can we get a consensus on this one way or another before they do drop the bomb? I'd hate to spend my last few moments on the planet mired in a syntax discrepancy....>>

Similarly, if you're a comedian who prides himself on his intellect and semantic wizardry, wouldn't ya think he'd use the word 'syntax' correctly?! :roll:

Like me his job is to be funny, not to be some book learned english teacher.

His 'shtick' is to appear erudite and then ridicule The Great Unwashed - not to just 'be funny'. He is hoist on his own petard (to cite a pedantic cliche) if he appears 'uneducated', as he chides those who are ignorant.

This thread (and others) were designed to be political. Either remove them or permit them.

This gets a pass? Be consistent.
