Deus Ex Machina
Jun 24, 2009 01:17
Apparently I've been mispronouncing "deus ex machina" for forever now. I always thought it was "day-us ex ma-shin-a," but I just heard someone say it as "doos ex mak-in-a." I feel bad now.

I also had one of those.
Apparently I have been mispronouncing the word 'deity' for a decade or so.
I was saying 'da-e-ti', when apparently correct (and really strange sounding to me after all this time) form is 'dii-ti'.
I was so embarrassed, especially since I got corrected while misguidedly attempting to correct someone else. *blah*
