That’s what happens when you learn a word by reading and never heard it pronounced. Seems like someone is always looking to pounce when you fuck up like that.I’ve got a computer connecting jewellers loupe.
Okay embarrassing fact. First time I said loupe out loud I pronounced it as Loop-aye. My reasoning, it looked very French pronouncey.
Me: This one is shit. I need to buy another loop-aye
Boyfriend: what did you just call it?
Me: sensing danger
Boyfriend: say that again
Me: (mentally) Fuck you word pronunciation. Why do you hate me?
In my defence, why put the French looking e on the end of a word if you aren’t going to take full advantage of its sound?
