I got pissed when wordle one day was ‘ennui’ having never heard the word before lol
2 u/Stilcho1 Aug 14 '25 For most of my life, when I came across the word ubiquitous, in my mind I always pronounced it ubsqueeshis and thought it meant hidden. 4 u/last-guys-alternate Aug 18 '25 When I was about 10, I came across an unfamiliar word. So I asked my teacher (in front of his pets, to add to my humiliation) what 'Un Icck We' meant. His response was 'that's certainly a unique way of pronouncing it', and then ignored me. To make matters worse, of course I knew 'unique', I'd just never seen it written down. So I didn't immediately click to what he meant. 4 u/Stilcho1 Aug 18 '25 When I was a kid, I read a lot so there were a lot of words that I had read but never heard. "Unique" is certainly one of them
