Low Point

There are countless YouTube videos telling you how to pronounce certain words.  Helpful, but there's often more than one proper pronunciation.  Plus, of course, people with different accents say things differently.

I was thinking about that when checking how to say nadir.  I've always preferred to pronounce it like Ralph Nader's last name, though I understand some say "Nah-deer." (Not unlike "fakir."  Both words come from Arabic, I believe.)

Thus, when I checked out YouTube, I was confronted with these choices.







And there are other choices.  I pity people who have to learn to speak English as an adult.
