It really doesn’t take much to make me happy.

In fact, here are 14 ways:

When you open your mouth to speak, say:

sub-siddy-ary, NOT sub-sidder-ary (for subsidiary)

puh-riffer-uhl, NOT puh-riffy-uhl (for peripheral)

in-sendy-ary, NOT in-sender-ary (for incendiary)

nu-klee-ar, NOT nu-queue-ler (for nuclear)

vak-you-um, NOT vak-yoom (for vacuum)

dye-uh-mund, NOT dye-mund (for diamond)

joo-uhl-ree, NOT jool-er-ee (for jewelry)

joo-uhl-er, NOT jool-er (for jeweler)

ree-uhl-tor, NOT real-uh-tor (for realtor)

ih-tal-yun, NOT eye-tal-yun (for Italian)

ear-ock, NOT eye-rack (for Iraq)

ear-ocky, NOT eye-racky (for Iraqi)

ear-ahn, NOT eye-ran (for Iran)

ear-onny-uhn, NOT eye-rainy-uhn (for Iranian)


There, that wouldn’t be so difficult, would it?

Or you could just include every one of those words in a comment. You wouldn’t even have to say them out loud.
