orthoepy

One hardly expects so curious a piece of orthoëpy in the preface to a comedy.

The orthoëpy of the name of this great man I can establish by the following fact.

The average patriot did not mind it if “Columbi-ay” and “Ameri-kay” were not exactly classic orthoëpy.

He had not well learned orthoëpy, and held that u-n, un, was to be pronounced as in 'unctuous.'
