Talk:pronounciation

Shouldn't we also list the pronunciation of this? I've heard it spoken several times and it is pronounced differently than its correct form pronunciation.

Misspellings get articles?
Should all common misspellings of words get articles, too? This seems ridiculous. Lsloan (talk) 17:21, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

not a misspelling
Pronunciation is an alternate spelling, not a misspelling. Pigginator1 (talk) 15:47, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Difficult question. Traditionally it's certainly considered incorrect, to which attests the fact that you won't find it in dictionaries. Now: that's a point, but not all there's to it. It could still be an alternative spelling (albeit a nonstandard one) if speakers used it deliberately in spite of their awareness of its nonstandard quality; for example, because they say: "I pronounce it that way and it also fits in better with the verb, so that's how I'm going to spell it!" If you can find sufficient evidence for such deliberate use, we could turn it into a nonstandard alternative spelling. 90.186.170.69 00:02, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * My edit was reverted, but the OED clearly states that "pronounciation" is a non-standard form. Not sure how to get this past the undo overlords... See Danroa (talk) 19:44, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It’s a misspelling. Why would it be an alternate spelling? Which English language variety uses this? Jordanekay (talk) 18:31, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Obsolete form
The quotation given does not provide evidence for this being an obsolete form rather than a simple misspelling. We should consider removing this entry. Jordanekay (talk) 15:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
