re: #141 tradewind

She’s just carrying on a tradition started by Jimmy Carter, Cato. Also,
The Merriam-Webster dictionary entry lists both pronunciations, and notes that the -kyə-lər pronunciation is “in widespread use among educated speakers including scientists, lawyers, professors, congressmen, United States cabinet members, and at least two United States presidents and one vice president”.

Noah Webster is an ass, as are those who quote his dictionaries.

Look up their definition of “educated” and I’ll bet it says “anyone who buys this dictionary”.

Makes you feel smart, doesn’t it?
