Unlearning? Mis-relearning?

It never occurred to me that the word "nuclear" could be mispronounced until I heard people say "nucular." Since then, I've had to pause to make sure I'm about to say it right.

Similarly, I never had trouble with "prefrontal cortex" until I watched the SGA episode where Sheppard mangled it as "prefrontral cortrex." Now, as I keep coming across the phrase in readings, I stumble over it in my head, adding and subtracting "r"s. What the hell.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Three things that make today worthwhile:

1. Brownies. Box brownies, with two eggs instead of three so they're chewy-fudgy. Mmm. I think I will share some with my classmates tomorrow.

2. I just broke up with someone (after one whole week, wow) and do not feel bad about it at all. Only relieved. That tells me it was the right decision. And I didn't even lose a TV-watching partner over it.

3. ( House )

Wow, sorry. One day my posts will be thoughtful and well-phrased again. (If they ever were. Hm.) I will not tie myself up in knots about perceived declining quality. I will not tie myself up in knots about perceived declining quality.
