Jami Mangles English

When I see the word "applause" my brain always initially reads it as "applesauce" then unusually corrects it after a few moments. I don't know why. There's a beauty salon near us that I really thought was Applesauce Hair and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what that meant. I can't read the word "lingerie" out loud if I'm looking at it. I know how to pronounce it, but I can't look at it and say it at the same time. For years, I thought "albeit" was pronounced "awl-BITE" and that it meant about the same thing as the phrase "all be it". Not that it seems I have much room to talk, but folks, it's espresso, not expresso. Albeit if you're having it while wearing your lingerie, don't expect any applesauce.
