so embarrassed! i have written the word hyperbole a million times, but rarely ever say it...
WORSE! i have never recognized it being said in a sentence.
so i was corrected today when someone didn't know what i was saying BECAUSE i was saying it how it is spelled and NOT how it is said!
FREAKIN' ENGLISH!
who approved this language?!
@sinbach hiPERboly. Sounds like that. I guess you were saying “hyper bowl”. Kinda like super bowl but hyper? Question: how do you pronounce this? Colonel
@jezzadiah4messiah you pronounce colonel the exact same way as bologna and asthma.
@jezzadiah4messiah @sinbach Yes! When you're familiar with a word in print and maybe with hearing it spoken, but haven't been aware that it's the same word!😯 It has happened to me as well. My children enjoy reading and I this conversation is a reminder that I should have them read aloud more often...
