Well i keep pronouncing gif and trespassing wrong, even though I know how they’re supposed to go.Hey Pandas, What's A Word You've Mispronounced Your Whole Life Until Recently?

Vanilla. Am I the only one who pronounces it 'Vanella'? One word it drives me batty to hear mispronounced is 'exception'. So many folks add the word Egg in there saying 'Egg'ception. I'm sure there are many other words I've mispronounced my entire life besides vanilla. Van-ella or Van-illa ?Hey Pandas, What's A Word You've Mispronounced Your Whole Life Until Recently?

I sell plant cuttings and seedlings! Spring time I just sell my extra peppers and tomatoes, and then have some well loved houseplants that need a haircut every so often - i just root the cuttings in water and eventually pot and sell. Its not a ton of cash or anything, but it's a nice way for my hobby to pay for itself over time. Also been growing pomegranates from seed because where I live they are an uncommon houseplant. The local garden center sold small trees for 129+! I had no problem growing the little guys for a few months and selling for 20$ whereas the seed packs were 5 dollars for a bunch.induceddaftfan reply
