WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Judging by the newspaper
headlines, the Marine Corps has
been having more than its fair
share Of problems at the Paris
Island training station. So it's q
pleasure to be able to shed some
light on what surely must be one
of the more trifling vexations OF
the Paris Island drill instruc-
tors.
Il would appreciate IT," writes
a master sergeant stationed
there. II you would give me
the correct pronunciation Of two
words that have been giving
us trouble here at Recruiters
School. The words to which
refer are: presentation and pre-
Icedence."
Each Of these words has at
least two different but equally
acceptable pronunciations. Pres
entation" may be pronounced
either PREF : en- TAY shun or
pree-zen-TAY-shun. Speech ex-
perts indicate Q slight preference
for the 'prez" sound in the first
syllable. but all concede that
"pree" Is almost as commonly
heard.
The pronunciation Of "preced-
ence" is somewhat more COM
lplicated. The word is the noun
form Of "precede" and literally
means "a going before"--or more
precisely. the order OF priority
observed by persons Of differing
rank on ceremonial occasions.
Many dictionaries, drawing the
appropriate analogy to "precede"
which is pronounced pree-
SEED or prih-SEED - indicate
the preferred pronunciation OF
precedence" is prih-SEE-d ms.
However. there's no gainsaying
the fact that the pronunciation
PRESS-ih-d'ns is very widely
heard today.
While it is never practical to
attempt TO label one pronun-
citation wrong and another
right" when general usage is
so evenly divided. it does seem
that a good case can be made
for urging prih-SEE-d'ns as the
pronunciation for precedence.
Only by so doing can you clearly
Idifferentiate between this word
and the equally common word
I''precedents." Since the purpose
of all speech is clear and easily
Understandable communication.
III seems to me distinction
worth preserving. So, for pre-
Icedence" say prih-SEE-d'ns: for
precedent" say PRESS-ih-d'ns.
