I'm watching from time to time the reporting one what is going on and what is feared regarding Israel and Iran.
Why do supposedly educated reporters insist on pronouncing nuclear as nuculer?

Or when reporting on something involved with SCUBA diving they always say their oxygen is running low.  |

in the Navy with the Aegis defense system everybody says AA-gis whereas actually the A is silent. EE-jis is the correct way to say it.
I've been told it was me.

The gunman might be armed with a knife or grenade too. Best to cover all the bases. |

Or to hear an educated (?) reporter talk about someone being woken up. My suggestion...take "woken" totally out of your vocabulary and in most, if not all cases, use "awakened!"

'Gunman' could possibly be used as a descriptor, like 'Lineman', for instance.. Maybe the 'gunman' is/was off duty and at home relaxing and 'unarmed'..?.. Or maybe I just wasted way too much time thinking about it  |
