I just re-read one of my book reviews — Pegasus: The Flame of Olympus — and there were so many mistakes I made during proof reading and editing. I just fixed it, but I'm a little embarrassed, normally I catch those... 😳

Just in advance: I might be slightly less active randomly spread out throughout June/July, because I am a reenactor, I will be camping, and I'll be at volleyball camps, one of which being out of town.

You guys, I have a serious question: How do y'all pronounce nutella? I pronounce it as "nut-ella", but I've heard many people pronounce it as "new-tella". Bonus question: How do y'all pronounce lychee? I pronounce it as "lee-chee". I'm curious as to how you guys pronounce these words!

techfashion0315

I say those the same as you!

ferndeafgal

I say new-tella and lee-chee!

doggiechristmas

Actually, I usually say nu-tella and lie-chee. Sometimes it comes out as new-tella, but it's just like how I switch in how I say caramel.

doggiechristmas

I take that back, MOST of the time, I say "new-tella," only sometimes do I say "nu-tella"

victoria_wise

I pronounce it as "new-tella" and lychee as "lee-chee"
