Had an experience like this with DS8. We were working on spelling. I asked him how to spell "rendezvous." He said that he didn't know what it meant. I told him I was sure he'd seen the word before, and spelled it for him. He said, "I know that word. I think it's in Harry Potter when they talk about the DA. It means a kind of meeting, right? I just thought it was pronounced REN DEZ VUZ." From that moment, he was able to spell it perfectly. *lol*
