The spelling of the word "grease cock" is often a source of confusion. The correct pronunciation is [ɡriːs kɒk], with the first word rhyming with "fleece" and the second word pronounced like the bird. The term refers to a valve used in industrial machinery to regulate the flow of lubricant. While the word "cock" may have other meanings in English, its use in this context is purely technical. Proper spelling and pronunciation of technical terms is important for clear communication in many fields.
