How do you pronounce the word menstruation?
Sometimes I hear it pronounced men-stray-tion.
Other times I hear it pronounced men-strew-ay-tion.
And neither pronunciation seems more prevalent than the other. It’s neck-and-neck. One big, annoying tie.
And it’s not like asking if it’s pronounced Feb-rue-airy or Feb-you-airy, because menstruation is not just the name of a month.
It’s menstruation.
I realize that it shouldn’t be hard to ask about the pronunciation of a word, because it’s just a word, and I am an adult.
But it’s menstruation. So it is.
