Dear Stales: I did not wish to rain on your parade. It's just that there ought to be an
acceptable word for "fear of pronouncing incorrectly" . I have it in a mild way.
I found a very long list of phobias, but many of them appear dubious, if for no other
reason than mixing Latin and Greek:

I tried constructing a word for it from Greek dictionary. pronounce = profero, or diloxio
I chose "diloxo"
So I suggest "kakodiloxiophobia" - comments invited
