do people who say nucular also say nuculus?
Nuculotide? Enuculated? Nuculons? Nuculic acids?
No, not in my considerable experience in the South, because there
isn't a tradition of pronouncing those words in a comparable way...
Thanks very much for your serious answer to what was, for my part, a
serious question.
Among those I've heard say "nucular" was Hubert Humphrey. The usage is
obviously acceptable, but nevertheless it fits, I think, into the
class of regional/local/ethnic terms and usages that are best not
flaunted before outsiders of brief acquaintance.
