If diagonal is pronounced di-A-gon-al (note the stress on the "a"), wouldn't hexagonal be pronounced hex-A-gon-al? And octagonal oct-A-gonal?

Some of my friends have recently suggested that it's pronounced like hexagon, but with an extra "al": hex-a-GON-al (stress on the "gon").

Sounds terrible to me. =) Do you agree? Do you have a site that indicates the proper pronunciation?

just list some cool-sounding/happy/thought-provoking/snappy/catchy/WHATEVER adjectives that you think are a little different or inspirational. Words that are out of the ordinary are always fun. :D

Some on e explained to me that the above was abrieviated to provide a popular expletive and come from the British campaigns in India and related to a charge against soldiers for fraternising with the locals.
Is this true or do you have another explanation?

I think it is hilarious when people say words incorrectly.

Orientate.
Hopefully.
Conversate.

I just read a question here that says "configurate."

It's not a slam, it's just funny...but it has way of making you sound like you don't know what you are talking about.

Do you have any words/phrases that bother you or tickle you when misused, or mis-suffixed? Does it matter to you?

Here is my grand boo-boo.

I was at an open forum discussion when the Gulf War broke out. I was in college at the time, and trying to be all smart about it. I had a question and raised my hand...and I don't remember exactly what I asked but I used the word...

...Iraqians....

in front of about 200 people. I KNOW that this isn't right. It just kind of fell out of my mouth. I stopped talking immediately and sat down humiliated.
