Pronunciation

How a word sounds when spoken correctly. Not a vital part of any UrbanDictionary definition.

'Tough' and 'though' are spelled similarly, but have very different pronunciations.

hyperethno-pronunciation

refers to the manner in which someone utters a particular word or phrase in an accent consistent with his/her native dialect, but inconsistent with the spoken language of the sentence.

"At 6:30 we will be covering an incredible story about a 39 year old woman from los-AN-jə-ləs, California who claims she can cure cancer with just a dash of peek-o-day-GY-o, shake of green SALL-sah, and generous amounts of drunken kah-ɽah-ꜜke."

Back to you Leen-DAH."

"Holy sh*t, that's was the most f*cked up up hyperethno-pronunciation I ever heard!"

pronounciate

A cross between "annunciate" and "pronounce" - to speak clearly and correctly so understandable to others (mainly humans).

Dear God Tom - you're mumbling too much - I can't hear you - pronounciate boy, PRONOUNCIATE!

Pronounciate

This word does not exist. It is simply a concatenation of letters, much like 'asdkljrtmn' is.

If you are interested in the proper spelling of the word that these grouped letters resemble however, please see 'Pronunciate'

Using a related form of 'pronounciate':

B: ... Whose pronunciation, sorry?

pronounciater

A native or fluent English speaker who unironically uses unique or bizarre pronunciations. Examples: em-PHA-sis on the wrong syl-LA-ble, styro-phone, Ge-AH-cities instead of GE-o-cities, or Pa-TRAY-on instead of PAY-tree-on for Patreon.

Note the more proper English spelling of this word would actually be "pronunciator."

I can't listen to that guy for more than a few minutes. My mom was an English teacher and he's a pronounciater. He makes me cringe.
