When I spell "kindergarten", some of my friends will ask,
"Isn't it called 'garden'? You know like the one where plants are nurtured and flowers blossom."
Here's my support:
(And have we been pronouncing it wrongly?)
- freedictionary.com kindergarten [ˈkɪndəˌgɑːtən]
- merriam-webster.com kin·der·gar·ten noun \ˈkin-də(r)-ˌgär-tən, -dən\
- oxforddictionaries.com kindergarten Pronunciation: /ˈkɪndəˌgɑːt(ə)n/
More reading on the origin of the word "kindergarten" and how it became so confusing.
So HERE IT IS.
Don't worry - you (and your child) don't need to know how to spell "kindergarten" to graduate.
