standard issue saurus

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I pronounced thesaurus with the emphasis on the first syllable until I was like 14 and someone called me out because although I had read the word so many times, I couldn't imagine that thesaurus would be described the same way as tyrannosaurus. That seemed ludicrous and wrong.

That's how I remember how to spell it
