@omer
your request is definately noted...tauqeer will answer you...
but i just want to tell you the spelling and how to pronounce the word "PRONUNCIATION" itself...
well i dont wanna sound extra efficient..but ive noticed many poeple and teachers also that they do the same mistake...
omer you have spelled it wrongly...and that means that you would pronounce it wrongly too...
Correct spelling: Pronunciation
And How To Say this Word: pruh-nuhn-see-ey-shuhn..(nun sounds like the english word nun..)
we often say it like pro-noun-ciation...and it is wrong...
well..ive lost my track(Heehee)and i know wat will the threadstarter say...
but i hope it will help you...
Cheers
