Hah! I think this is one of those words that people often drop a consonant from, and no one really notices... Until you really start listening to yourself! And then you can't un-hear it.

This is a new twist to "it doesn't work if you don't plug it in."
I was trying to get started recording, kept clicking the button and nothing was happening. Tried restarting, even vacuumed the room cause I was feeling guilty about how long it had been... finally I went to my husband and had him come take a look. This is what happened.

I was expecting vocalizations from the CAT, not from you!

Hahha! I wish. He's a rescue and I think he came from a tough neighborhood!

Discontent and unhappy of being unable to say "contented and happy":

How i feel when reading almost anything from Scientific American

"[...] planes which swept spectacularly low [...]" is kind of a tongue twister
