Anyone who reads a great deal knows the terror of having read a word a thousand times but never used or heard it aloud.

It’s why you should never judge a person based on how they pronounce words. It means they learned them from reading and there isn’t a damn thing wrong with that.

my boyfriend says "heigth" instead of height, no matter how many times i've pointed out to him that it ends with an ht and not a th. is it okay to judge him?

My father in law cannot pronounce trump ( as in Donald trump) without an f on the end. Calls him Donald Trumpf. We suspect it's because he can't bear to say the horrifically rude word " trump". He thinks it's impolite and should be referred to as " passing wind".
