Pronunciate

To pronounce your words carefully, and with meaning.
Not to be confused with enunciate. Do not let people fool you when they say "Hey! That isn't a word!"
On the contrary, pronunciate IS a word and forever SHALL be a word no matter what they say.
"Bob, please pronunciate your words! I can't understand a single thing you are saying because you are mumbling!"
