Right?
and archipelago.
I actually corrected my high school English teacher on this one. He sort of blinked and said, "No, I think you're right."
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh yeah, I definitely thought that was pronounced like it looks. Don't remember when I found out the right way, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
So, which words did you mispronounce and how embarrassing was it when you were corrected?
Proprietor (PROP-uh-teer), Toledo (TOE-le-doh), and mausoleum (maw-SO-lee-um). I still get mausoleum wrong half the time. It was embarrassing and infuriating. I was a kid, in all three cases, and it was my family laughing at me.
I still don't know how to pronounce archipelago.

inchoate Mamet(As in David) Talking about David Ma*may* was way more embarrassing cause I actually said it out loud and thought I was slick, besides.Sometimes I still get flushed cheeks if he is reviewed and I see it. Keith Olbermann used "inchoate" in a commentary so that was a private embarrassment thinking how often I thought "en-choat" and nodded at myself. Of course, my dad sometimes made fun of me for using exotic words *correctly* too, so I probably have many issues about that kind of thing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hyperbole.
Hyperbowl.

I have to check myself every time I say hyperbole out loud, because I still pronounce it hyperbowl in my head.

Probably. We here in the desert ain't great with the fancy book learning.
