 Difference between these two:
Pronounce
and
Enounce
Please, I've looked everywhere, asked everyone and people gave me different meanings.

Re: Difference between these two:
Definition for pronounce:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pronounce
Definition for enounce:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/enounce
They both mean basically the same, so they can be used interchangeably. I've really never heard someone use the word enounce before.

Re: Difference between these two:
Nope, I'm pretty sure they are completely different.
Anyone, please?

Re: Difference between these two:
The way I use it, pronounce is getting it right, enounce (enounciation) is the WAY you say it, or moreso how accurately you say it, like "goin" and "going".

Re: Difference between these two:
IMHO, enunciate has more to do with clarity of diction, as in "Bostonians often do not enunciate the letter 'r'."

Re: Difference between these two:
enounce seems to imply that you aren't giving any direct object, whereas using pronounce, you have to say what it is you are pronouncing, i.e. just saying "John pronounces"doesn't really make sense
