=Requiem=--rē´kwi-em, not rĕk´wĭ-em. Worcester gives both pronunciations.

=Resume= (Fr. résumé)--rā-zū-mā´, not re-zūme´ nor re-zū´mā. Worcester gives rez-u-mā´.

=Reticule=, not _ridicule_, when a little bag of net-work is meant.

=Reveille=--re-vāl´yā, not rev-a-lē´. Worcester gives the first and re-vāl´.

=Rinse=--rĭnss, not rĕnse nor wrĕnch. "_Wrench_ your mouth," said an uneducated dentist to a patient after _wrenching_ out a large molar. "Thank you," replied the patient. "_You_ have done that, but I'll _rinse_ it, if you please."

=Salve=--säv, not săv. Worcester gives sälv also.

=Samaritan=--sa-măr´i-tan, not sa-mā´ri-tan.

=Sanitary=, not _sanatory_, when _pertaining_ to health is meant. =Sanatory= is more restricted in its application, and means healing; curative.

=Saracen=--săr´a-sen, not săr´a-ken.

=Sarsaparilla=--sär-sa-pa-rĭl´la, not săs-sa-pa-rĭl´la, nor sär-sa-fa-rĭl´la.

=Satyr=--sā´tur, according to Webster. Worcester gives săt´ir also.

=Saucy=--saw´sy, not _sassy_.

=Said.= _Said_ (sĕd), not says (sĕz), in speaking of past remarks. Many of the most cultivated people are guilty of this vulgarism. "'I will call to see you soon,' _sez_ he." "'I will be glad to see you at any time,' _sez_ I." Where the details of a long conversation are given the frequent repetition of _sez_, or even _said_, is very grating to the refined ear. The use of _asked_, _inquired_, _remarked_, _suggested_, _answered_, _replied_, etc., instead, has a pleasing effect upon narrative or anecdote. It is preferable, also, to give the _exact words_ of the speaker after _said_, etc., as: "When he had finished reading the letter, he said: 'I will attend to the business the first leisure moment I have.'" When the word _that_ follows the _said_, the substance only of the remark may be given, as "He said that he would attend to the business the first leisure moment he had." Whichever form is used in narrative, it is not at all harmonious to give the _exact words_ of one speaker and only the substance of the remarks of another, at least without regard to regularity in alternation.

=Schism=--sĭzm, not skĭsm.

=Seckel=, not sĭck-el. A kind of pear.

=See.= It is not uncommon to meet with people that incorrectly use _see_ in the imperfect tense, as: "I _see_ him yesterday," instead of, "I _saw_ him yesterday." See is never used in any tense but the present, without an auxiliary, as did, shall, etc.

=Seignior=--sēn´yur, not sān´yor.

=Seine=--sēn, not sān. A net for catching fish.

=Senile=--sē´nīle, not sĕn´īle. Pertaining to old age.

=Separate=, not _seperate_. The loss of the a is not noticed in the pronunciation, but the mistake frequently occurs in writing this word as it does in the words =inseparable=, =inseparableness=, =separation=, etc.

=Servile=--sër´vĭl, not sër´vīle.

=Set.= Noun. There are many who incorrectly use _sett_ in writing of a _set_ of dishes, a _set_ of chess-men, a _set_ of teeth, or of some other collection of things of the same kind. A =sett= is a piece placed upon the head of a pile for striking upon, when the pile can not be reached by the weight or hammer.

=Set=--=Sit.= Blunders in the use of these words are amongst the most common we have. _Set_, as we shall first consider it, is a transitive verb, or one in which the action passes over to an object. Present tense, _set_; imperfect tense and past participle, _set_; present participle, _setting_. _Sit_ is an intransitive verb, or one which has no object after it. Present tense, _sit_; imperfect tense and past participle, _sat_; present participle, _sitting_.

To avoid repetition as much as possible, I would refer any one to whom the explanation here given is not perfectly clear, to the rules and remarks under =Lay= and =Raise=, which are equally applicable here. "Will you _set_ on this chair?" should be, "Will you _sit_ on this chair?" "Will you _set_ this _chair_ in the other room?" is correct. "I _set_ for my picture yesterday," should be, "I _sat_," etc. "This hat _sets_ well," should be, "This hat _sits_ well." "Court _sets_ next month," should be, "Court _sits_ next month." "The hen has been _setting_ for a week," should be, "The hen has been _sitting_," etc. "As cross as a _setting_ hen," should be, "As cross as a _sitting_ hen." But a person may _set_ a hen; that is, place her in position on eggs. One _sits_ up in a chair, but he _sets_ up a post. One _sits_ down on the ground, but he _sets_ down figures. _Set_ is also an intransitive verb and has special meanings attached to it as such, but they may be readily understood by a little study of the dictionary, and no confusion need arise. The sun _sets_. Plaster of Paris _sets_. A setter dog _sets_. One _sets_ out on a journey. _Sit_ may also be used in two senses as a transitive verb, as: "The general _sits_ his horse well," and "The woman _sat_ herself down."

=Sew=--sō, not sū.

=Shampoo=, not _shampoon_. =Shampooing.= Written also =champoo=.

=Shekel=--shĕk´el, not shē´kel.

=Since=, not _sence_.

=Sinecure=--sī´ne-cure, not sĭn´e-cure. An office which yields revenue without labor.

=Sit.= See =Sat=.

=Slake=--slāke, not slăk, when the word is spelled as given, as: _slaked_ lime, to _slake_ one's thirst, etc. If spelled =slack=, the ordinary pronunciation is right.

=Slough=--slow, not slōō nor slō. A mudhole. Written =sloo= (slōō) also.

=Slough=--slŭf, not as above. The cast skin of a serpent. Dead flesh which separates from the living. The verb expressing this action is pronounced the same.

=Soften=--sŏf´fn, not sawf´ten.

=Sonnet=--sŏn´net, not sŭn´net.

=Stolid=--stŏl´id, not stō´lid. Stupid; dull.

=Stratum=--strā´tum, not străt´um. =Strata= (strā´ta), the Latin plural is used much more than the English =stratums=. Errors like "a _strata_ of gravel," are also not infrequently heard.

=Strategic=--stra-tē´jik, not străt´e-jĭk. =Strategical= (stra-tē´ji-cal) and =strategist= (străt´e-jist). Worcester gives stra-tĕj´ic and stra-tĕj´i-cal.

W.

=Wake=, etc. _Wake_ is both a transitive and an intransitive verb. Present tense, _wake_; imperfect and past participle, _waked_; present participle, _waking_. _Awake_ is also both transitive and intransitive. Present, _awake_; imperfect, _awoke_ or _awaked_; participles, _awaked_ and _awaking_. _Awaken_ is another verb, both transitive and intransitive. Present, _awaken_; imperfect and past participle, _awakened_; present participle, _awakening_. Thus it is seen that we have a great many words to express the fact of _being_ in a conscious state, and the arousing of a person who is asleep. With a little attention there is no reason for committing an error in the use of these words. One may say that he _waked_, _awoke_, or _awakened_ early in the morning, but it is wrong to say that he _woke_ in the morning, or that he _woke_ another; for there is no such word as _woke_. "I _wakened_ at five o'clock," should be, "I _awakened_ at five o'clock;" for there is no such word as _wakened_. _Up_ is used only with _wake_, _waked_ and _waking_, but even then it is one of our most senseless superfluities. There is no stronger meaning in the assertion that a man was _waked up_, than that he was _waked_ or _awakened_. If _waking up_ meant to _wake_ and make _get up_, it would be different, but it does not. One may be _waked up_ and it is just as likely that he will go to sleep again as if he were simply _awakened_. _Awake_ and _awaken_ are more elegant words than _wake_.

=Wassail=--wŏs´sĭl, not wăs´sĭl. A festive occasion, carousal, the song sung at such a time, etc. The verb and the adjective are spelled and pronounced similarly.

=Water=--waw´ter, not wŏt´er.

=Welsh=, not _Welch_. The latter word is seldom used. =Welshman=, etc.

=Whinny=, not _winny_, when the cry of a horse is spoken of.

=Whisk=, not _whist_, when a small hand-broom is meant. =Wisp=, however, is a proper word, meaning the same thing.

=Whiting= is preferable to _whitening_.

=Widow.= It is not necessary to say _widow woman_; no one will suspect her of being a man.

=Wrestle=--rĕs´l, not răs´sl.

Y.

=Yacht=--yŏt, not yăt. =Yachting= (yŏt´ing), etc.

=Yeast=--yēst, not ēst.

=Yellow=--yĕl´lō, not yăl´lō.

Z.

SCRIPTURAL, MYTHOLOGICAL AND OTHER PROPER NAMES.

In the vocabulary just completed, it has been the design to point out the majority of errors occurring in the pronunciation of the words usually selected by people of fair or excellent education to carry on ordinary English discourse. In the portion of the work now under consideration, nothing like such thoroughness is contemplated.

After a moment's reflection, it will appear to any one, that to mention the thousands upon thousands of proper names, the erroneous pronunciation of which is rather to be expected than the correct, would require an elaborate volume. Every one who has striven to become a fine orthoepist has longed for the ability to comprehend the pronunciation of that myriad of names, any one of which is apt to confront him in any book or paper he may chance to pick up. But to become a proficient in this respect would require years of study and a knowledge of the principles of many foreign languages.

Amongst geographical names, for example, who but the specially instructed would think of pronouncing correctly _Goes_ (Hŏŏce), _Gelves_ (Hĕl´vĕs) or _Jalapa_ (Hä-lä´pä); or amongst biographical names, _Gaj_ (gī), _Geel_ (Hāl) or _Geijer_ (gī'er).

It is fortunate for the reputation of those who bear the name of being good scholars, that errors in the pronunciation of most proper names are excusable, which is not the case with the mistakes that have before been laid down. But there are some proper names, of such constant occurrence in daily lectures, reading and conversation, that errors connected with them are not to be overlooked. It is the intention here, simply to call attention to the more common of these, and to lead the reader to appreciate the fact that if one depends upon the usual power of the English letters to gain a correct pronunciation of proper names, he will be more often led astray than otherwise.

The Authorities consulted are the best--Webster, Worcester, Lippincott's Universal Pronouncing Dictionary of Biography and Mythology and Lippincott's Pronouncing Gazetteer of the World.
