  So thankful I could parse that without thinking on it. Can you imagine learning that shit from scratch?!

    English is a pretty simple language to learn, but the pronunciation isn’t part of that simplicity. It’s especially tough to unlearn wrong pronunciations you’ve cultivated for years. In my case (for instance), sword (which I pronounced like “word”) and realm (re-alm).
