[GET] You're Saying It Wrong: A Pronunciation Guide to the 150 Most Commonly Mispronounced Words

[StillStanding]

For word nerds and grammar geeks, a witty guide to the most commonly mispronounced words, along with their correct pronunciations and pithy forays into their fascinating etymologies and histories of use and misuse.

With wit and good humor, this handy little book not only saves us from sticky linguistic situations but also provides fascinating cocktail-party-ready anecdotes. Entries reveal how to pronounce boatswain like an old salt on the deck of a ship, trompe l'oeil like a bona fide art expert, and haricot vert like a foodie, while arming us with the knowledge of why certain words are correctly pronounced the "slangy" way (they came about before dictionaries), what stalks of grain have to do with pronunciation, and more. With bonus sidebars like "How to Sound like a Seasoned Traveler" and "How to Sound Cultured," readers will be able to speak about foreign foods and places, fashion, philosophy, and literature with authority.

Great book by the way!

It helps with a lot of words we use in writing - but never have to pronounce, until we do...

Examples:

aegis
aerie
armoire
claddagh
Cthulhu
forecastle
haute couture
hegemony
Magdalen
Möbius
viognier
voile
schadenfreude
synecdoche
yarmulke

Have a great week.
