| 词组 | missile |
| 释义 | missile Bremner 1980 and Copperud 1970, 1980 note that missile is often misspelled missle. Missile is tough for us Americans; the same pronunciation also suggests such alternatives as missal and mistle(toe). If you think of the British pronunciation with \\\\-,īl\\\\ at the end, you will have no trouble. Copperud also mentions occasional confusion of missile with missive. We have not found this error in print, but composition teachers report it, and people have written to us to ask about it. It appears to be a mental blend of missive and epistle. The only other confirmation that this confusion exists is missile entered under letter in one crossword-puzzle dictionary that we have seen. |
