Perhaps, John. In my life, I've never heard anyone pronounce it "flak-sid." I hear you about the rule, but most grammatical rules have exceptions. It's amazing anyone can speak (or write) the language at all! 
Unbelievable the Merriam's would validate "nucular." That's just wrong.

I have never heard anybody pronounce it flaksid, however I checked an online dictionary and that listed both flassid and flaksid as pronunciations ...
And I am also with Charlie with the fact that NUCULAR is plain and simply incorrect!!

James, you're using 'real' as an adverb. It's 'really'.
I'm surprised at you.
I've been wanting to do that since you corrected my spelling 2 months ago.

I'm with Charlie on that one, I think this is an exception to the rule.

So, all this time I've been having an affair with your mum... It's really been incest?
