Behold the truths behind the internet.

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.

When you introduced yourself to me at TWH, it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out who you'd said you were. Granted, it was in a noisy crowd, so I think I'd missed a bit in the middle, but you compensate for that with words you know. Aurally, "Amanuensis" was completely new to me.

It was a VERY loud crowd! And, yeah, it's not a word you hear much, and I'm sure there are people who look at it and say, "Am-an-oo-WEE-sis," "Am-ah-NUN-sis," everything. ^_^
