Words that have escaped you

For me it was always pasgetti, instead of spaghetti. Growing up, I always thought Yosemite was pronounced Yoes Mite, Filet mignon was flaming yawn. To this day I still pronounce jewelry, jewlery. My wife never says specifically. She always says pacifically.

"who" always comes out "how" when I type. Plus, being taught phonetic spelling while moving around the country every two years left me unable to spell almost any word correctly. Without spell check it looks Forrest Gump wrote my stuff (insert easy smack reply :p).

I tried to say "corroboratively" in a conference call today. Fail. I wound up having to say it slowly in syllables.

And the other day I couldn't come up with the Magna Carta to save my life.

Wondering if rugby should maybe start using helmets with face masks. :biggrin:

After a third unsuccessful attempt at pronounciation I usually start screaming "the chip hurts...gggghhhaaa......master will be angry....master will be angry!!!" - and then start slashing at my arm with my pen.

The judge will usually call for a short recess.

I thought in order to use the insanity defense, the defendant had to be the insane one.
