word pronunciation

Some words should be pronounced more eloquently than the standard pronunciation.  Like 'neuter'.  I think 'neuter' should be pronounced 'noo-TAIR'.

'Noo-TAIR' sounds more like an exotic plastic surgery and less like hundreds of thousands of years of evolutionary progress designed to ensure the most stalwart and desirable traits are passed from generation to generation in the never-ending quest to become the ultimate predator have been utterly destroyed in a half hour by some guy who didn't even take you out to dinner first.

I think the same is true for 'va-MEET'.

Bruce underwent what was for him a VERY disappointing surgery today and while he was in dreamland  the veterinarian cleaned his teeth.  Melissa's comment was, "I bet his teeth are sore like how they are after you go to the dentist."

I'm fairly certain my teeth would be relatively low on my priority list if I were Bruce.

I hope he dreamed of golden retrievers.
