    I just found out I've been saying omnipotence wrong. Also swathe.
    Also, earlier today I heard heinous said in a different way to how I say it, so I had to look it up, but looks like what I heard was the British way and I say it the American way.

    ''Slough''; only found out how to pronounce it today. It has several pronunciations actually, depending on which meaning of the word you are using. Confusing af.

    It can depend on your country. In the US they say and spell words as the word should sound. Like Check. Were we use the word Cheque. Just one example of many that I could give. Big words make me smile. I read a lot and do a lot of crosswords. That doesn't mean I would know what every word out there meant. We will all, at some point in time, come across that one word that will stump us.

    Crosswords can be fun when you don't realise that the crossword is in American English rather than British English. :

    I use terms in the wrong way so well saying a sentence I can sometimes say things backwards or incorrect also because I needed speech therapy my entire elementary school years I still tend to not pronounce words correctly depending on the letters in the words

    No, but then I guess it just depends on your accent as to whether you think I do, really.
