...the way...

[Flash]

Is this sentence correct?
-I prefer to pronounce smth the way I wrote/mentioned rather than smth

[Mister Micawber]

You have not produced a sentence, so I cannot make a pronouncement. You have used 'the way' correctly, however.

Hello Mister Micawber,

The sentence could look as follows:
I prefer to pronounce the word 'direct' the way I wrote/referred to rather than Michael's variant.

'I prefer to pronounce the word 'direct' the way I wrote/referred to rather than using Michael's variant.'

Thanks.
What about the following one:
I prefer pronouncing the word 'direct' the way I referred to to using Michael's variant.
It seems to me that these constructions are synonymous in English, aren't they?

It's got 'to to', which makes it a bit hard on the ear.

Yeah, I noticed the sentence had 'to to' while writing it but I could re-write the sentence by taking out the verb 'refer to' and substituting 'write', right? write - right - hm... it's becoming a tradition with me to write such things
