by means of figures or to study
what means must be used to secure a certain result. A person
may make a speech, write a book, or do anything else
_calculated_ to do good, or more rarely, evil, but the
intention to accomplish the object spoken of must be present,
before the word can be properly used.

=Calliope=--kal-l[=i]'o-pe, not kal'li-[=o]pe.

=Calvary=, not _cavalry_, when the place of our Saviour's
crucifixion is meant.

=Camelopard=--ka-mel'o-paerd or kam'el-o-paerd, not
kam-el-l[)e]op'ard.

=Cantatrice=--k[)a]n-ta-tr[=e]'che, not k[)a]n'ta-treess.

=Canon=--k[)a]n'yun, not k[)a]n'nun. A deep gorge or ravine.
Spelled also =Canyon=, pronounced kaen-y[=o]n' or k[)a]n'yon.

=Capoch=--ka-p[=o][=o]tsh', not ka-p[=o]ch'. =Capouch= is another
orthography.

=Caption= in the sense of the heading of a discourse, chapter,
page, etc., is not sanctioned by good writers.

=Carminative=--kaer-m[=i]n'a-tive, not kaer'mi-n[=a]-tive.

=Casualty=--k[)a]zh'u-al-ty, not k[)a]z-u-[)a]l'i-ty.

=Cater-cornered=--k[=a]'ter-cor-nered, not k[)a]t'ty-cor-nered.
Not down, thus compounded in Webster, but his pronunciation of
the separate words is as given. Worcester gives the word as
above and defines it as an adjective--diagonal. It is generally
used though, I believe, as an adverb; as, "the piano stands
cater-cornered" (diagonally). It is regarded as an inelegant
word, diagonal and diagonally being preferred: though it is
probable that this opinion has been caused by the abominable
pronunciations _catty_ and _kitty_ cornered.

=Catalpa=--ka-t[)a]l'pa, not ka-tawl'pa.

=Catch=, =Catching=--k[)a]tch and k[)a]tching, not k[)e]tch and
k[)e]tching.

=Catholic= means liberal, general, not bigoted, and not _Roman_
Catholic, unless specially so applied.

=Caucasian=--kaw-k[=a]'sian,not kaw-k[=a]zh'ian, kaw-k[)a]sh'ian,
kaw-k[=a]z'ian nor kaw-k[)a]ss'ian.

=Cayenne=--k[=a]-[)e]n', not k[=i]-[)e]n'.

=Chaps=--ch[)o]ps, not ch[)a]ps. The jaws. =Chops= is also
correct orthography.

=Chasten=--ch[=a]s'en, not ch[)a]s'en. =Chastened=,
=chastening=, etc., have also the long a.

=Chew=, not _chaw_. The latter word either as a verb or noun is
now considered quite vulgar.
