LOL-- DD still holds on to mispronunciations.


Sometimes this is hilarious-- because she'll "fix" the pronunciation in her head through silently reading it and gathering the meaning contextually or something, and then it becomes darned near impossible to remediate without making a big deal out of it.

Disciple, for example. Who in their right mind would assume a long vowel pair in that word?? But the two short-i vowels sure sounds... hmm... ODD in conversation.

Lately, I have been correcting her by pointing out that if she calls it Bran-DEEZ, they probably won't let her go there for college. LOL.
