"I nearly broke my tongue trying to pronounce autoch..autok..autochton....the word of the day, and saying it a day late made it harder too!" *tear* I think I should just make it a daily thing, because tues/thurs/sat throws me off, because it's almost every other day, but not quite.

how 'bout no, i'm not gonna try, cause I need my tongue for stuff like yelling at the cable company, playing tonsil hockey, etc
Last: I found this word from two places (one's geeky, one's "hip"). The first, from a Magic Card, "Autochthon Wurm", and the second, at a Starbucks, their insulation-cup-holder things have words on them now, for a promotion they're doing for a spelling bee documentary/movie/something. And I tried pronouncing it... let's not talk about THAT *tear*
