Why this word is great
CACOEPY — [Noun] The habitual mispronunciation or incorrect pronunciation of words. From Ancient Greek κακός (kakós, "bad") + ἔπος (épos, "word, speech") + -ία (-ía, "-y, state of"). Unlike orthoepy, which prescribes a rigid standard, or cacology, which faults the word chosen, cacoepy is a purely acoustic crime—a failure of the tongue against the ear. It is the confident truncation of *nuclear* into nucular, the genteel aspiration of the "t" in *often*, or the guttural stumble over *Worcestershire*; each a sonorous rebellion against consensus, proof that language lives not in dictionaries but in the flawed, moving mouths of its speakers, a collective act of faith performed with private flaws.
