Please note: it's spelled "TEMPLATE" but it's pronounced "TEM PLIT".

[Bucky]

Also, it's pronounced "FLAK SID" not "FLASSID". The double-C is pronounced K then S, just like in the word "accident."

Thank you for reading this.

3. I am trying to figure out how to use "flaccid template" in a sentence.

That way I could mispronounce both words in a single breath.

4. Sorry, Bub.... Either pronunciation is correct for flaccid...American version is normally 'flassid"

7. Actually...

according to this, both pronunciations can be used/accepted...

I used to have a huge issue with the word "drug" when it was used as the past tense of "drag", but upon checking, I found "drug" can be used that way.

And...the word "memento". I got pretty peeved when people pronounced it "MO-mento", but even that way is acceptable.

So..."drug the log up the hill" and "a beautiful momento" make my ears sting, but what can you do...

9. Thanks for this.

I was beginning to doubt myself about "template".

10. Wrong on both counts!

According to the Bake Dictionary of Pronunciation, it's tem-plate and flas-sid. Except I don't even know what flaccid means. I'm just sayin' ... you know ... not from personal experience or anything like that ...

11. Actually it's TEMP LUT.

I'm not sure what word you're going for with FLAK SID.

If it's flaxseed then I guess I've been saying it wrong my whole life.

[Bruce Wayne]

13. Forget saying it wrong...

If it's flaxseed, then you've been doing it wrong.

12. So when my temp is late what to say?

[pokerfan]

14. But when the Kelly Services worker isn't on time

we can still say, Is the temp late again?
