How often have you even had to use that word?

I thought for a long time that the word epitome written out and the word epitome said out loud were two different words

Imagine having a mother tongue that doesn't let you figure out out to pronounce a word by merely looking at it.

i've pronounced "sedative" as
>se-day-tive
for my whole life when in reality it's
>se-ded-iv

makes no sense because 'sedate' is pronounce how it's spelled why the fuck isn't 'sedative' pronounced the same way? it's fucking bullshit

It's the same deal with "in-fin-ite" and "fy-nite". Confused Mr for a while.

It's not but "interdict" is
This is how we native English speakers spot ESL's to make fun of them
We keep them on their toes
Heard a German girl YouTuber pronounce Wichita "Wa cheet ah"

*me. Don't make fun of mister or else!

I haven't ever used it, but when I would hear people say "indite" I thought it was a different word from "indict". Apparently indite is a real word but it means something completely different

Mischievous isn't pronounced with a long I sound. That one still trips me up.

>when you pronounce superfluous as superfluous and grandma swoops in to tell you it's "su-PER-full-is"
thanks grandma

Wait, it's not? ESL here, please enlighten me.

It's "in-dyt"

Epitome and hyperbole threw me for a loop. Also vagina until I was like 16. I still read it as short second syllable in my head because the correct pronunciation is dumb.

Wait, so you pronounced it as "va-gin-a"?
Lmao
