You're Saying It Wrong


Absolutely love this pronunciation guide to the 150 most commonly mispronounced words!  This wonderful book of words begins with the word "acai" and ends with "zydeco."  It includes such words as "Ku Klux Klan" that you many have heard all of your life and never realized that it's always been mispronounced along with simple words like "theater" (the correct way to say it is "THEE-uh-ter").  It also contains harder words like "gnocchi" that don't sound right even with the pronunciation provided.

It's a fun book to read and keep handy...you'll want to go back to it over and over.  Five stars!
