Inculcate

Foreword: 
(nothing to say, really)

Definitions:
Princeton says: 
teach and impress by frequent repetitions or admonitions; "inculcate values into the young generation"

Webster says: 
to teach and impress by frequent repetitions or admonitions

My input: 
I wonder who took the definition from the other guy :p

Pronunciation: 
In as in in. Cul as in cull. Cate as in... Catelyn. (Rhymes with hate)
Apparently there are two accepted pronunciations, in regards to which syllable is stressed. 
Webster one and two

Synonyms: 
instill, infuse

Thoughts: 
I say throw everyone for a loop and stress the third syllable, hehe. But I prefer stressing cull because cull is a cool word. Cull story bro.
