Well done. A+ for you. I was going over “defenestrate” this morning with one of the kiddos, who had a teacher completely butcher the word in class yesterday. I had to pull out the big dictionary for proof(teenagers!) and told him if a teacher cannot pronounce a word correctly, their usage is probably off too.
It was either 1st grade or kindergarten when my daughter used the word “zebu” as an example of a z word for the class. (It’s an animal, she learned it from VeggieTales.) The teacher didn’t know it and said my daughter was wrong.
The next day, I sent in with my daughter a photocopy of the dictionary page.
