Esperanto for everybody Fri Sep 08, 2006 8:59 am  Esperanto for everybody		  
Well,
they are two words and they are used probably wrong instead each other

pronounce :
-to speak a sound or sounds esp.clearly or
in a certain way.
-to announce or declare officially
-to declare as one's judgment

pronunciation:
-the recognized way to pronounce sounds
in a given language
-the way in which someone pronounces
words

confusion?

this is one of reasons, why we should forget English
and in peace start to build new modern Esperanto

Regards

You prefer pronunciation first (before spelling)? Smile

Hi Tamara!

I?m always grateful for your pointing out my mistakes. In this case my wrong spelling/use of pronunciation/pronouncing. Smile Well, of course, one can?t pronounce a word without knowing its spelling, so I can?t prefer pronuciation before spelling. But sometimes it happens that between a verb and a noun there is a small difference in its bases and (at least ) I firstly notice it when anybody smashes my head with it!

Quote:
Pronunciation vs pronounciation Smile

Hm... I took your correction for an own research using my dictionary! For pronunciation It offers me just one single solution : Pronunciation [noun]= "Aussprache" while pronounc/.... offers several opportunities [verb, adverb, adjective, noun] with the endings ....../e, eable, ment, ing but no ...../iation.

Quote:
Google:
25,000,000 for pronunciation
1,190,000 for pronounciation

In this sense I discover an evidence for the effectivity of democracy, I mean democracy works and the majority is right. Wink Laughing as the word pronouciation obviously doesn?t exist, does it?

By the way, I wonder how often you use the google as google is a search-machine only and just refers to the whole amounts of registrations in the web but don?t give any guarantee for the correctness of threads.

Really? Shocked

Michael, were you silent and completely speechless in your childhood right until you had become literate? Until you've got the Literacy Certificate? Smile Laughing

Quote:

But it exists. In fact, de facto and as a matter of fact.

My democratic Smile translation system contains both words.

Wikipedia just patiently transfers you right to the Pronunciation article, if you ask it for pronounciation.

Michael, I normally use lots of reference books and on-line sources of information and data. And not only when learning English.
Google is just one and not the main, of course. To me.

How we think is how we talk? Fri Sep 08, 2006 18:31 pm  How we think is how we talk?		  
Michael,
That's right bloodbro, it looks like we work too much lately.
I didn't hear about anyone who died of me, but it could be 'cause my hearing is not as good as it was before. Smile
We try our best, that's all we can do, but I want to ensure you I still consider you my best ally in the jungle of internet.
By the way, I have some real good news:
They sell Czech Budweiser in Tesco, so I don't have to drive 50 kilometers for a good beer anymore Smile
Take care my friend,
see you(r writing) later
