When people say “nucular” instead of “nuclear” I feel like my head is going to explode. It was especially annoying throughout George W’s presidency :/

And then I just read this on Wikipedia…seriously?! Sigh. “Nucular is a commonly used metathetic form of the word ‘nuclear’. While it is usually regarded as a mispronunciation, and no dictionaries list this particular pronunciation as correct, several make mention of it because of its increased usage.”
