OH boy, you should have heard my eight-year-old self with hor d'oeuvres Heeheehee...
My DD still does this with just a handful of words. Yes, they are things that she learned through silent reading and context--
and honestly, I still have occasions where I'll have this total epiphany DURING a conversation or listening to someone... WOW... that is SO different than that word sounds in my head...
Palliative is a great example of that. Even knowing how it sounds, I can't make it stick because of how I laid it down in my memory, if that makes sense.
