Say it loud!

Advice from a famous English teacher, William Strunk Jr.:
If you don't know how to pronounce a word, say it loud! If you don't know how to pronounce a word, say it loud!

The point being that the only thing worse than being wrong, is being wrong and timid. So I say to all you who worry about your pronunciation, say it loud! It doesn't matter if it is wrong as long as you are making the positive effort to communicate. It matters even less if it is wrong if the person you are talking to can't hear what you are saying.
