I think the first thing people who talk about Fentanyl is to learn how to pronounce it. It’s not Fenta-nol. It’s Fenta-nil. Every time I hear it I just hear Nukular.............

Few are taught phonics these days. If people were taught phonics, they would know it’s “nil”, just as they would know “nuclear” is pronounced new-klee-er. Nukular is so messed up.

Spot on. How people pronounce these is a leading indicator of their IQ and political awareness.

I was going to write this exact post myself.

Thank you.

Pronouncing it right will go a long way to fix the problem.
