Words (and expressions) that look or sound funny...

Macabre. And god help me if I ever try to order capicola at the Italian deli.

I was talking to my brother about it, but the word

YOU

looks weird. It doesn’t sound like it looks. I looks odd. I’ve seen the word a million times in my life, but just today realized how odd the word is.

FWIW, I thought portico when I first read this.

Mine is the word ‘indicted’. When reading it, I always think “indick…indited”.

I have the same trouble with infrared.

The other day, I heard someone pronounce ‘tarantula’ tar-an-TOO-la.

Yo, howz my homie doin…
They was some wicked good clams ma…
Going down to Joordan Maarsh to get some jewry…

That’s deliberate, right?
