I was pronouncing it with a prose instead of a pros.

[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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.
