I really am very grateful for the volunteer readers at LibriVox. I listen to audiobooks almost exclusively rather than reading text. However, I do have to giggle when readers confuse a promiscuous person (a wanton) with a Chinese dumpling (a wonton).
Friendly ribbing
It's been ages since I've perused the forum (used to be a regular reader here), but I couldn't resist sharing what I feel is a bit of good-natured ribbing that my wife saw a friend share on social media.

I can't wait for a reader to confuse wonton with one tonne.
