The idiot's guide to pronouncing "nuclear" and other difficult words (satire):
"Nuclear. Note that there is no 'U' between the 'C' and the 'L.' That's an interesting clue to the correct pronunciation, and the more witty among us have figured out that it means the 'C' and 'L' should be pronounced together, as in the word, 'CLEAR.' Of course, if you're an idiot, you might pronounce 'CLEAR' as 'Cue-Ler' in which case your mental capacity is so seriously limited that you only qualify as a registered voter."
