I made the mistake of pronouncing the "s" in "debris" once, and a pedantic acquaintance pretended to not know the word over and over as I repeated it, until I finally realized the mistake. If he'd simply corrected me, I would have laughed at myself and appreciated him. But he had to be a smug prick about it, and now I permanently resent him.
Sorry for the mini trauma dump. Just agreeing with your sentiment.
Yikes fuck that person for doing that.
I had a coworker who would frequently say "Not to be pendantic..." and I honestly could not tell if he was just fucking with me.
I've started pronouncing debris like the British do and now I just do it all the time as I read.
I also say "sooorry" instead of "sorry" because I jokes around one too many times on a trip to Montana.
They sound like the life of the party
