Words I Didn't Know How To Pronounce Until Quite Recently

[ feed | comment feed | cloud | sort:  alpha / order added ]
The thing is, I read a lot. I have a large vocabulary. I can also go years without hearing a word in my vocabulary actually spoken aloud. Most of these words, I'm afraid, are ones that I thought sure I knew how to pronounce correctly for years and only discovered, after they'd been firmly ingrained in my head, that my pronunciations were wrong after all. (In my defense, my dad was 40 before he knew the 'b' in 'subtle' was silent.)
