Hello to everyone! I have recently been binge-watching a couple of sitcoms, namely brilliant 'Yes, Minister' and its respective follow-up 'Yes, Prime Minister'. And many a time did I come across a most interesting pronunciation of the word 'negotiation'. Sir Humphrey Appleby and Jim Hacker pronounce it the following way: 'negociation'. Why is that so and, respectively, is it within the realm of acceptable to pronounce the lexeme the way these honourable gentlemen do?
I should be most delighted to hear your thoughts on the present matter.
Thank you!
