I was pronouncing it with a prose instead of a pros.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I say PROSS-luh-tize. But the dictionary tells me you can also say PROSS-suh-luh-tize. Only not with my phonetics-on-the-fly.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I just found out today that I was saying proselytize wrong.
I won't say how old I was when I realized that "draught" was pronounced "draft."
Or that "segway" was that weird word "segue" I kept seeing.
(No, really. Pretty fucking old. High school, I think. "Epitome" might fall in that Age of Enlightenment as well.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I used to think Dos Equis and Doseckis were two different types of beer.

Our wii is here. D is playing Metroid. I just squeed, "Oh you're a little ball!" to which he replied, "Oballa!"

Sophia, I still "hear" it in my head as "drott," or something similar. It's like I read it and then my brain kicks in and reminds me "that's the one pronounced 'draft'!"

At least it is not something I have ever had an occasion to say out loud!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"Misled" took me until university.

I still stumble over sepulcher. I mean, not that I say it often. I used to stress the wrong syllable.
