man no matter how many times i try to remind myself that avery's name is probably pronounced AY-vree, my first instinct is always to read it with the a pronounced like the a in "am", "and", "alibi", etc. A-vuh-ree.

#just been steaming on this for a while don't mind me #the joys of discovering english words/names in text and never hearing them out loud until u've already taught urself the wrong pronunciation #i pronounced corgi like corjee for the longest times #learned the right pronunciation the hard way by speaking it out in front of a group of merciless americans #'but g-i is pronounced jee' i said #'it's con-tah-jee-ous not con-tah-ghi-ous' i said #'cyra' they said #'it's con-tay-gious' they said #WHICH I KNEW #BUT I WAS SO FOCUSED ON THE JEE THAT I FORGOT THE AY #i still haven't forgotten and neither have they #merciless i tell you
