You can tell someone grew up reading amongst troglodytes this way.
No one only family read, I was forty years of age having a very Oscar from The Office discussion about ISIS and mispronounced “apostasy”. I still lie awake cringing over that sometimes.
Mispronouncing a word is not a bad thing. It means you read it somewhere before
Mispronouncing words isn’t really a big deal, just blame it on English being a tricky language (it is). Tbh no one would even remember such a thing, so I don’t recommend being sleepless about it :)
You’re very kind.
My colleague actually corrected me to the person I was speaking to: “He means “apostacy””. I died.
Where I live something like 1 in 3 people can't pronounce ř, including the most most famous president
I grew up reading and mispronouncing a lot of words. But my family is pretty smart. Both parents are CPAs, one brother is a lawyer, another works in benefits, two sisters are teachers, and I'm a Financial Analyst.
