Just finished watching a re-run of episode 4 (focused sound devices, EMP simulator).
Please, somebody tell these guys two things:
1. The USS Cole is NOT a "battleship!!!" It wasn't a battleship when terrorists attacked it, it isn't a battleship now, and it will NEVER BE a battleship. This dumb- error is INEXCUSABLE coming from a former NAVY Seal.
2. There is no word in the English language that can conceivably be pronounced "nucular" (NOO-kyoo-ler). No matter how many people say it that way, including Howdy Doody, our current President, it is WRONG! Somebody needs to buy 'Hooked on Phonics' for the producers and 'talent' on this show so they will understand why "nuclear" absolutely HAS TO BE pronounced NOO-klee-er.
C'mon, guys, this is a show all about science and technology- which means that a higher standard of accuracy must be applied to it.

I would like to point out that Former Navy SEAL Richard Machowicz also mispronounces INCENDIARY, when referring to bullets and bombs. I've never heard the term INCINERARY.
A former Navy Seal should have learned that as part of his earliest training.
This and other mispronunciations have continued uncorrected for seasons, and affects(in my estimation) the credibility of the entire network.
As hoggedogg pointed out "a higher standard of accuracy must be applied" You need proofreaders, badly, please consult Webster's.
