How else would you pronounce shibboleth??

I guess long i vs short i? Not a big deal. Bad example imo. A better metric would be something like boatswain or colonel.

I said Hermione "hermy-own" in my head until I watched the movies.

Funny...I didn't read much when I was growing up because the schools I went to made me hate reading.

I spent most of my waking hours watching stuff on the various discovery networks during a time where they showed actual educational material.

The vocabulary I show here in text is only a small portion of the words I know
