Word of the Day!

I feel like panoptic is a little harder to work into a sentence naturally BUT I LOVE KERFUFFLE. I didn't know there was an r in there so I used to think it was spelled 'kafuffle' because that's how we pronounce it. The 'er' part seems really odd in there now, haha.

Really? I've always pronounced it with the "R", but then again I never really use it in daily life so it's just one of those things I guess.

Word of the Day: Hypocorism

Definition:
1. A pet name
2. The use of pet names

Examples:
1. People began to refer to the elusive and mysterious Loch Ness monster by the hypocorism "Nessie" in the 1940s.
2. "… the use of hypocorisms … is on the decline (only my Aunt Dorothy is still called Toots), and terms of endearment have come under suspicion ('Call me Dollboat or Sweetie-Pie one more time, Mr. Snodgrass, and you've got a harassment suit on your hands')." — William Safire, The New York Times, 27 Sept. 1992

Well of course you do, because you guys say your Rs differently to us. xD lel.

Wow, I thought it was related to hypocrisy. There you go!

I've also been recently informed that everyone who isn't American pronounces it "herb" whereas we say "erb". Welp.

That's what I thought. But no, it's pet names.
