Oh,and go check out Wordie if you haven't already. <BR/><BR/>Hello Earl. Hehe. I'm not even sure if I'm pronouncing some of them right, but in any case, if you did actually use them in conversation, they are such uncommon words no one would know if you got it wrong. They'd be too busy thinkng, "Er...what?"! <BR/><BR/>Hello again Julian.

But what's "ee"?!"<BR/><BR/>A shriek, I think. ;) But you don't usually shriek when you see something pleasing, unless it's a happy one, I guess! :) So there you go: "Ee" is a happy shriek, apparently. ;)Julianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05964310253347450104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6585199145085310155.post-12605103209106081732008-12-07T14:16:00.000+11:002008-12-07T14:16:00.000+11:00Gee I don`t know if I can even pronounce half of t...Gee I don`t know if I can even pronounce half of these in my head, let alone out loud in public.<BR/>I would have to change my name to Mr Malopropism.<BR/> :)Earl Riserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117519552671153430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6585199145085310155.post-33045726160633097002008-12-05T19:05:00.000+11:002008-12-05T19:05:00.000+11:00I love this!

Sorry, it is a pretty long list. <BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about the word you're looking for - I had that the other day with the word "thesaurus" - but sorry, I can't help. That might be a curly one for Google to help you with too. Let me know how you go. <BR/><BR/>Hello Abbeysmum. So many sleepy people sitting on the computer! (Me included - I have been a bit slow in replying to you all because I'm pretty well worn out and the silly season has onyl just started.)<BR/><BR/>I thought cacoepy might have been pronounced phonetically, but not sure. Ironic. I might look in an actual dictionary to see if I can find it. <BR/><BR/>Hello Small Footprints. A sentence! Goodness me, you're a hard task master! Maybe a paragraph or a story - and a pretty bizarre one too! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for subscribing. I don't know why your blog roll doesn't like me, but I think we'll have to just resign ourselves to it. :(<BR/><BR/>Hello again Abbeysmum. Go to bed!! <BR/><BR/>Hi Mrs BB (sorry, I'm being lazy). Let me know how you go with the story.

What is the word that describes the situation where a word gets repeated so many times that it becomes dissociated from its meaning in your head and starts to look/sound odd? I think I've seen a word for it at some point, but I could be wrong! (Yes, I could probably Google it, but this way I'm (hopefully) adding to the conversation. ;) )<BR/><BR/>Any takers? :)Julianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05964310253347450104noreply@blogger.com
