In academic writing, it is necessary to avoid spelling mistakes, as they can cause confusion and hinder the accurate communication of ideas. Most commonly, these misspellings derive from the pronunciation of the word that collides with the spelling. The word “pronunciation” is one of them itself, often misspelled as “pronounciation.” This article will explain the correct spelling and further illustrate the correct word through various examples.

The correct spelling of “pronunciation”

The word “pronunciation” is a noun that describes how to say a word out loud, and merely has one correct spelling with only an “u” between the two “n.” The etymology of this word comes from the Latin “pronuntiatio,” meaning an act of speaking or a proclamation.

Incorrect spelling
