It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

That should be:
If it were pronounced sekatree, it would be spelt that way.though in American it would be
If it would be pronounced sekatree, it would be spelt that way.
And I think by spelt you mean "spelled". Spelt (Triticum spelta) is a hexaploid species of wheat.
And it's funny you should be standing up for pronouncing things the way they're spelled, when we've been told on this thread to pronounce Renwick as "Renick" and Greymouth as "Greymth" (WTF?), just like the Poms. And doubtless Marjoribanks as "Marshbanks", Cholmondeley as "Chumley" and Beauchamp as "Beecham".
God, I love picking nits with pedants! For a short time, anyway.
Get with the program sweetness...you boys ever so rarely are given the impression you own the pussy...
But good on you for believing that myth...we like you gullible!![]()
I think the most interesting misprononciation I have heard of late was while shopping at the supermarket (yes, I know...how very quaint of me!)...

If my nose was running money, I'd blow it all on you...
Bahahahahahah....of course you have to beware the mighty kwichy!
I am the first one to be very careful with all matters of pronunciation...but I still do cock it up sometimes...Like Pegasus is still sounding like "pigassus" if I'm tired...thank goodness it doesn't often come into a conversation.
