I thought that exclamation marks were actually "explanation marks", since they explain how you pronounce it.
A childhood belief about speaking
others believed things like this
- I used to believe that beauty marks (freckels) were Butterfly bites!— Jolene
- When my sister was about 9 or 10 she used to pronounce "chaos" like "chows"Anon
- I used to pronounce the word "Computer" as "Crocuta"
Anon - As a child, my twin sister and I used to pronounce `Spaghetti' as `Mastaghetti'. Sounds a bit rude, no? Anon
- there's such thing as "soul-security"( social security )
because of the way my stupid parents pronounce it— elizabeth - We had an antique lamp that I thought was hideous and for years I thought "Art Deco" was a synonym for ugly.Anon
