NATION:

Ration

Do you mean the word pronounced Rahtion or some other word I haven't heard of?

Because if you mean Rahtion, it doesn't rhyme [Smile]

Nation:

Haitian

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

Um, we are talking American English here, not your silly Canadian stuff. Ration rhymes with Nation.

Its not Rah-shen.

Its not Rat Ion.
Its good old fashioned Inflation Ration Nation.

Posted by Robespierre (Member # 5779) on :

For nation and ration to rhyme, they must be pronounced:

nay-shun
ray-shun

I don't know of anyone who pronounces ration as "ray-shun". Usually the a in ration sounds like the a in "cat". However, dictionary.com allows either.

Ration rhymes with nation? What?

I speak American English, and ration definitely starts with rat.

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

Ration stars with rat - not to be confused with a rat ion, which is something that gets chased around the house by cations, which are not cay-shuns, but cat-eye-ons.

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

I thought the verb was 'rah-shuhn' and the noun was 'ray-shuhn'.

Posted by UofUlawguy (Member # 5492) on :

I was unbearably curious, so I looked in my dictionary and was stunned, absolutely floored, to see that "rayshun" is listed as an acceptable alternative pronunciation.

I have to get a new dictionary. This one is obviously defective.
