I used to have a little book called There is no Cow in Moscow (its moss-coh)

I had a boss who pronounced ‘Wednesday’ just the way it looks.

WED ns DAY

And the OP should get props for a witty post, misspellings notwithstanding.

@xcheopis

The English professors who taught at my middle-school (& college) and the Oxford Dictionary disagree with you.

Dunno what copy of OED you’re looking at, but mine agrees with M-W.

Oh, horrors! Random strangers who mispronounce words might not like me! Whatever shall I do?

And that would be the whole point of this thread, no?

Also, could you list all the times outside this thread that I’ve corrected people on the pronunciation of this word? Thanks ever so.

Not sure why you have your panties in a wad over this, frankly. Sorry that my suggestion that you erred got you riled up enough to post a snarky response.

This is the part where I call you a liar, liar:
Ask Oxford
Now, if you’d actually done some, whatdoyacallitohright RESEARCH, on the etymology of the word, then you might have been able to dispel your own ignorance. Alas, gone is the moment and you’re just another buffoon.

I’ll give you a wee tiny hint:
How do you pronounce “succeed”? What about “acceleration”? “Occlude”? Or, you know, any other word with the double-c? This is grade-school English, boy, you should know the rules by now.

Sorry that my “snarky” response to your general rudeness… Wait, I’m not sorry. You want politeness from strangers? Ok, you go first.

Stop it. If you want to duke it out, take it to the Pit. otherwise show a little retraint, please.
