I also remember realizing in high school that segue was pronunced seg-way even though I knew what segue meant when people said it out loud and what segue meant when written and knew they meant the same thing but somehow always though they were different words and then I realized I was ******ed.
to be fair, i had some strange notions of how certain words were pronounced
reading ghost rider comics, i somehow thought that "vengeance" was pronounced "vay-gance"
reading visions of gerard in high school for a kerouac project, i thought catechism was pronounced "catch-uh-kism" (not catholic imo)
maybe i don't read so good
