Hi Wolfgang! Which language were you referring to? Latin or Ancient Greek? How do you know how they pronounced it? In English, the new-clear pronunciation is a slight elision of your noo-clay-are example, which I guess is German? The objection I had was not to minor differences in accent, or even different emphasis on whole or part syllables. What Bush the Selected does amounts to a verbal mis-spelling of the word, if such a thing were possible. That's what grates on my ear, and sounds like ignorance and idleness to me.
