re: #70 Obdicut

Fun fact: I read a lot of words before I could pronounce them, and so for a long time I pronounced that as if I were saying “You have an invalid ticket”.

“Poor Mrs. Badcrumble, her sciatica has made her an invalid.”

LOL.
That’s the problem with English - too many words that are spelled the same, pronounced differently for different meanings, or pronounced differently in a longer form than in the shorter form.

For what it’s worth, I did the same thing. Another one - impotent. Gah. We could probably go on all day thinking of these things.

My daughter’s confusion came over the prayer, “Hail Mary, full of grace”.

“Mom, why does it say, HELL, Mary … “.
