I'll read words I've never heard aloud, come up with my own pronunciation in my little head, then embarrass the heck out of myself when I use it in conversation.<br /><br />For years I thought "chagrin" was pronounced "charge in," and boy was I surprised to learn that "soldering" is pronounced "SAWdering." <br /><br />I blame my ninth year, when I read Nancy Drew books nonstop. How the heck was I supposed to know how to pronounce "hors d'oeuvres"??<br /><br />Whores-du-wavers, of course. Those stinkin' Drews were either serving or eating them ALL the TIME.<br /><br />I can see you've been in copy editing mode! It must feel great to be over that hump. And now I can delight in the fact that Double Cross is that much closer to arriving. :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10190392756337604378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-46633154782521581402010-06-03T10:27:52.190-05:002010-06-03T10:27:52.190-05:00I always have to slow down when I type "tongu...I always have to slow down when I type "tongue" because I really want it to me "tounge" which isn't even sort of a word. <br /><br />I also screw up accommodation routinely.
