Mispronunciation Fun
From time to time, we have been in Sunday School classes where the teacher repeatedly pronounces a word either wrong or with a thick Utah accent. One of our favorites from Heather's parents old ward was learning about the "plegs" of Egypt. This one happened over 4 years ago, but still comes up every once and awhile and gives us a good laugh.
Today's lesson in Gospel Doctrine was on Alma chapter 5. The instructor, posed the question: "What does it mean to have Christ's image in your continence?" Yes, that's right your continence not your countenance. Even some of the others in the class tried to help the instructor out by emphasizing the correct pronunciation of the word, but to no avail. Wondering why this kept making us chuckle? Click here for the definition of continence.
Forget the spiritual aspects of going to church, it's times like these that keep me coming back week after week.

That cracks me up! I love it!
That's funny! I'd have to say the best ones I've heard were in Utah but none of the words can be found in the dictionary since a lot of people in Utah like to make up their own words. I think you and Heather had a few of those too!
