renumeration

[StealthPolarBear]

Just seen on another thread that this isn't right and the word is reMuNeration. I actually thought it was an april fool's joke. Can't believe I've got to 34 without knowing that. And if I'd heard anyone saying it correctly I'd have assumed they were wrong. I can't work out how you're meant to say it!

re-muna-rayshon.

I'm sure you weren't alone!

I work for an accountants, and so many people say it wrong!
Ree-mew-nerr-ay-shun is how to say it

Is ir mu with a mew sound though

re mew ner ation
or
Re moo ner ation

Ah sorry thanks potato
I cant say that. It's so clearly wrong. I will just avoid the word now for the rest of my life

mew

Ahh

What?! Sorry, again?

I've just seen that. I thought that was the american way

Directors' emoluments might be as much of a tongue twister!

I consider myself to be a literate and munerate person
which is why I'm struggling

Actually I might have been sating it the right way all along but if you asked me to spell I would done it the wrong way

lol. Lots of people do this one. One friend even had it spelled from in his work contract. Think they're paying you in money not in numbers (hopefully!).

re-muna-rayshon is how you say it in the UK.

Drink if id heard id have judged you

at Stealth. Not sure why I'm confused about it, I do my own accounts and that word pops up at least a couple of times...

Renumeration would be changing the numbers.

S u rely this must be one of the most commonly misspelled (misspelt?) Words ever

Nooo. I'm on the same thread and felt like an idiot.

It's pronounced re-mewna-rayshon in the US.

I stilk dont believe it

This is weird because renumerate is indeed a real word and means to renumber.

So bizarrely, to say "I was renumerated to the tune of $100" isn't really wrong since your finances have in fact been editted by that amount.
