You can tell someone grew up a rube because they say things like "You can tell someone grew up reading"

You can tell someone grew up reading amongst troglodytes this way.
No one only family read, I was forty years of age having a very Oscar from The Office discussion about ISIS and mispronounced “apostasy”. I still lie awake cringing over that sometimes.
Mispronouncing a word is not a bad thing. It means you read it somewhere before
Mispronouncing words isn’t really a big deal, just blame it on English being a tricky language (it is). Tbh no one would even remember such a thing, so I don’t recommend being sleepless about it :)
