Is it spelled pronunce or pronounce? Pronunciation or pronounciation? My spell checker thinks pronounce and pronunciation are the correct forms.
I don't think the words "pronunce" and "pronounciation" are words in my dictionary. (Someone may prove me wrong.)

Therefore, I believe the correct forms in the context that you suggest are pronounce and pronunciation.
