EVERY-DAY ERRORS OF SPEECH.

A.

=Abacus=--ab'a-k[)u]s, not a-b[)a]k'[)u]s.

=Abdomen=--ab-d[=o]'men, not ab'do-men.

=Acclimate=--ak-kl[=i]'m[=a]te, not ak'kli-m[=a]te.

=Acclimated= is also accented on the second syllable.

=Acclimatization=--ak-kli-mat-i-z[=a]'shun, not
ak-kl[=i]'ma-ti-z[=a]-shun.

=Adult=--a-d[)u]lt', not [)a]d'ult.

=Aerated=--[=a]'er-[=a]-ted, not [=a]'r[=e]-[=a]-ted. "_Areated
bread_" is a mistake that is frequently made.

=Ailantus=--[=a]-l[)a]n't[)u]s, not [=a]-l[)a]n'th[)u]s;
[)a]t-l[)a]n'tus is a still worse error.

=Albumen=--al-b[=u]'men, not al'bu-men.

=Alder=--awl'der, not [)a]l'der; it is the name of a _tree_ and
does not mean the ordinary _elder_.

=Alike.= It is sufficient to say that two persons or things are
_alike_, not _both alike_. The word associated with _alike_ is
just as unnecessary as it is with _resemble_ and _equal_ in the
following sentences: "These two men _both_ resemble each
other." "These two sums are _both_ equal."

=Allopathy=--al-l[)o]p'a-thy, not al'lo-path-y.

=Allopathist= is similarly accented.

=Alpaca=--al-p[)a]k'a, not al-la-p[)a]k'a.

=Altercate=--[)a]l'ter-k[=a]te, not awl'ter-kate.

=Amenable=--a-m[=e]'na-ble, not a-m[)e]n'a-ble.

=Among.= A thing is divided _among_ many and _between_ two.

=Amour=--a-m[=o][=o]r', not am'-m[=o]re nor [=a]'m[=o][=o]r.

=Angry.= Say angry _with_ a person and _at_ a thing.

=Animalcula= is the plural of _animalculum_; there is no such
word as _animalcul[oe]_. Animalcule (singular) and animalcules
(plural), are proper words; the former is pronounced
