Pronounce

and

Enounce


Please, I've looked everywhere, asked everyone and people gave me different meanings.

Definition for pronounce:

Definition for enounce:

They both mean basically the same, so they can be used interchangeably. I've really never heard someone use the word enounce before.

Nope, I'm pretty sure they are completely different.

Anyone, please?

Did you even read the fucking dictionary references?

The way I use it, pronounce is getting it right, enounce (enounciation) is the WAY you say it, or moreso how accurately you say it, like "goin" and "going".

IMHO, enunciate has more to do with clarity of diction, as in "Bostonians often do not enunciate the letter 'r'."

enounce seems to imply that you aren't giving any direct object, whereas using pronounce, you have to say what it is you are pronouncing, i.e. just saying "John pronounces"doesn't really make sense

enunciate has more to do with clarity of diction
