Is 'class' pronounced, class or cue-lass?

Is 'clam' pronounced, clam or cue-lam?

Is 'clothing' pronounce clothing or cue-lothing?


I think the answer to this one is pretty obvious.

Incredible, all 13 people in the poll voted for the same option.
I've never seen such a lopsided poll result for such a divisive issue.

I'm grew up in Texas and I always heard "nuk-u-ler". LOL. I did say "nucleus" correctly in science class though.

It's not regional. Look it up in a dictionary and you'll find one pronunciation.

Just like it's not regional that the English language calls for capital letters and punctuation.
