There’s only so many ways to write “the President is plainly guilty and the Republicans, along with 40% of the American people, do not care.”

No way, same here. I read aloud in a high school class and pronounced misled like “mistletoe” if you dropped the “oe.” I remember feeling my whole head get flushed. But looking back, meh, it’s a word that looks funny written out. I’ve heard adults mispronounce it.

I’m one of those kids in the very special club who said “orgasm” instead of “organism” while reading in class. 

Just to be clear, I deeply regret volunteering to read that day.

In high school I was reading aloud in class and pronounced ‘Hyperbole’ as “Hyperbowl”.  I still visibly cringe when I remember that moment.
