A Painful Admission

Yesterday, while listening to the wonderful language podcast, “Lexicon Valley”, I learned the following shocking fact.

“Vittles” is NOT a country-fied form of “Victuals”. It is the correct pronunciation for v-i-c-t-u-a-l-s.

There is no word pronounced VICK-shu-alls”.

My deepest apologies for not catching this sooner.
