Naaramare...<P>Pronunciation is same thing as what you're talking about. The most common use of the word 'diction' is the one that notes the choice of words used. In reguards to vocal music, it's "pronunciation and enunciation of words in singing." So "pronunciation" is just as okay a description as "diction"...it gets the point across.<P>Also, being a music major myself, I must say that if Shore and the others involved would've cared about the singer's diction, they would've had it corrected. They are, after all, more well-versed in classical music than any of us here.
