nucular has been used so much, it's actually an acceptable pronounciation in a lot of dictionaries. We argue about this all the time at the new clear plant.

my ghetto favorite is vomiking, I mean realy where the fuck does the K come from.
My favorite was when they put a sign up for MLK Blvd here in Atlanta. They spelled it Marin Luther King (missing the T). I found it fitting because I've never heard someone on Martin Luther King Blvd say anything other than Marin.
My GF is a huge book reader. And we got into a big debate about the Preface of a book (mainly to annoy her). Now I know you pronounce the "pre" part the same way you would say "preference". But I call the "pre" like you would in Preview. My justification is that the 1st way is only used when attached to something that isn't a word. What is a ference or stige (as in prestige). But I can tell you what a view is or face.

Q: Hey Mark! What did you do this weekend?
A: So, me and Shannon went over to Dave's before the game.
Q: Cool, was there anyone I know?
A: So, we bumped into Alex, Justin, and that Asian dude we used to work with at Oracle.
Q: That's cool. Did you have a good time?
A: So, it was a pretty good time, we got trashed, watched the game, shot some pool.
Q: Wish I had been there. Hey did you finish that presentation you were telling me about?
A: So, I've got about half of it done, but Brandon just gave me an urgent project, so I had to switch focus.
Q: I see. Hey you got lunch plans? I'm gonna grab something at Chipotle.
A: So, the last time I went there, it tasted like dog food, so fuck that noise.
Q: How about Panera Bread then?
A: So, I've got to hit the john first, I'll meet you outside.
