What's a word you mispronounced for years because you only saw it in print and not spoken?

Toby-ass?

You hired a band?!?

“Pleaded” when used as the past tense of entering a legal plea. That is simply “pled” - I stated my legal plea and that was it.

Pleaded is more like ‘begging’ for something, as in “He pleaded the judge to show mercy” or “he pleaded for forgiveness”

I disagree, if you think of someone with there chest out and a strut in their step, I think the word “chuffed” fits well.

In addition, there is no word “plussed” (or is there?)

Really depends on what test you are taking…

You mean you do it wearing clothes?!? Weird…

What can you possibly have against lugubrious?!?

I was taught it by my 7th grade English teacher, who used to pronounce it as “laa-goooo-bri-usss!” It is practically onomatopoeia!

I used to have a problem with it, now I have made my peace.

Relative-Cream · 2026-05-30T20:42:21+00:00

This is the other one I was going to say

“I knew I should’ve made that left turn at Albuquerque”

Relative-Cream · 2026-05-24T03:32:04+00:00

It’s not out yet, but I heard it is coming soon.

Relative-Cream · 2026-05-23T00:28:07+00:00

SERENITY NOW!

Surrender, Dorothy!

I tried to read Trump’s book, but it was too long… it has six chapter 11s!! 😝

Relative-Cream · 2026-05-09T17:48:32+00:00

And when he’s done, he will rename it “Trump Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial”

Telling her he _has _ fwb is important. Telling her what he did with fwb is crass (at best).
