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’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.
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.
They sound like the life of the party
