I love this kind of thing. It’s weird how many words we use without having any idea what they mean.

Words always end up getting broken with speech in a different way to the meaning.

Eg I put in pandemonium which you say as pande-moniun but I just learned is pan-demon-ium which makes a lot more sense!

Very cool. Well done.

Try “helicopter” for a real mind-blow.
I hate how everyone always breaks it up as "heli" and "copter" when it's "helico" and "pter".
