The word dramatic pause is satiety. Which I've always pronounced SAY-she-uh-tee, to align with satiated. But no, it's suh-TAY-i-tee. Which I think is dumb-sounding. But whatever.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Our wings are not tired.
I don't think I have ever said the word aloud. Huh. I know one I can think of off hand is hyperbole. Although I know how to pronounce it now, I still read it wrong. A few others that I can't think of too.

Oh, Laura. Some kids (even at 23) just have no idea what great parents they have (because you and Brendon are wonderful). I can't help but believe that one day, hopefully soon, he gets a good clue-stick to the head and gets his act together.

I don't actually know that I've ever spoken it (wrong) aloud. Maybe my humiliation is from how superior I was feeling. It's one thing just to have never heard a different-from-expected pronunciation, but I was just so certain I was right and he was wrong. Maybe it just stings a bit because language skills are something I take pride in...well, I've been taught a little lesson, I guess. Probably good for me...like broccoli...which I also hate.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It was only a few years ago that I learned how that should be pronounced, so you are not alone! I used to pronounce it "fullness" because I was never sure.

I would have pronounced satiety to relate to satiated as well. It makes sense. But then, this is English, which doesn't even make sense to the natives.

Thank you. I am validated.

Yeah, and I think I had a third pronunciation for it: suh-SHI-i-tee. Interesting that.

SAY-she-ate-tee.
It's starting not to sound like a word anymore.
