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.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

[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.

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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
So? am I being a science snob if a guest designer (who is a professor) doesn't know the order of colors in a rainbow? Am I being a complete dick for thinking he's a moron if he is a LIGHTING person, teaching at the local university and doesn't know the colors of the rainbow? And we were wondered why during God's deal with man after the flood, why his "bow" looked all blah with greens and blues. "Where are the red, yellow, violet colors?" "Oh, I can ad some of those". Then just mishmashed them all together. Have you never seen a prism? white light to rainbow? Dude you are old enough to have seen the album cover for Dark Side Of The Moon!
