      Only if you pronounce the "cation" phonetically as well.

      Edge-u-cation
      Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

        Cation? Like how you would pronounce it in chemistry?

          Ejaculation

              Ejucation looks a lot like ejaculation, in my own twisted mind.
              For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)
