"Centrifical"??

jdogg05 asks:

Is this how centrifugal is pronounced?? I have been saying it cen-tri-fu-gal... But I have heard a lot of older guys say "centrifical", which isn't REALLY condusive to the spelling...

"Cen-trif-i-cal" Websters says, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/centrifugal

zeusfaber says:

"Centrifical" is just a lazy step on from the American "sen-TRIF-you-gal", which does at least fit with the spelling (but is much less of a logical complement to centripetal than the British "SEN-tri-PHEW-gal" is). How do your Centrifical boys pronounce "centrifuge"?

sen-tree-fuu-gol

jgailla says:

There's no g in centrifugal, at least if you're from the southern US like I am. I pronounce it like your thread title. Also, "conducive."

Compositepro says:

Pronounced "correctly" it is very difficult to hear the difference between centrifugal and centrifical. This is the reason for the confusion.

ScottyUK says:

Go on then, who determines 'correct'?

I now know where the last "i" went in the American spelling of aluminium. Someone stole it and used it to ruin the pronunciation of Centrifugal. sen... tree. .. Few...gal. Al...you...min...eeeeee...um.

JohnGP says:

In sugar mills we had Ripz's sen-tree-fuu-gol's, or just plain fugals, but for pumps it's centrif-ee-gal. Where I'm at we normally string more words together into one, like thatsacentrifeagl pump.

DubMac says:

Just wondering.......... In jolly old England do they pronounce centripetal force, sin - tra - peetal force???

HPost says:

Only the posh people pronounce it that way, like the queen when she's trying to squeeze one out. The rest of us ignore it and refer to the opposite force that is centrifugal, you know like the force produced by a centrifuge...
