*' A learned ear would be as much shocked at such a departure [dSk'] from classical propriety as in the words aono'raui and cafi&rou8.^'''—WcUker. ACADEMl ORTIIOEPIST. 13 defalcation — d6f-al-ks'shun (Wor.), not de-fal-kS^- shun (Wb.). defile, noun — dS-f il', not de'f il. There is slight authority for the second pronunciation. demonstrate — de-mdn'strSt, not dSm'on-strat. See compensate. depot — de'po, not dS-p6', nor da-p5', tvot dSp'o. Usage, in this country, has made this word de'po^ in spi...te of the dictionarlcp, which all prefer de-pc/. The third and fourth forms are little better than affec- tations. deprivation— dep-ri-va'shun, not de-pri-va' desperado — d6s-pe-ra^d5, not des-pe-r&^dd. detail, noun — de'tal, 72,0^ de-tal' ; *^)
