I discovered something yesterday: I have never, ever had to spell amanuensis out loud for anyone. As in, never given anyone Amanuensis's email address or website address or lj name out loud. I tried to do it for the first time on a recording yesterday and completely blew it.

Did I ever tell you that the first time I saw your pen name (on the BE list!), I mentally pronounced it "Emesis"?

I didn't? Well, I bet you're glad you know now. ;-)

And you were saying, "Um, does she have any idea what that means?...Oh, wait, it's different. Ah, hell, easier to say that way."
