For some reason, of all the words I tend to get tripped up on, I go crazy when it comes to the word "business". You would think that the i would go between the u and the s, but for some reason it doesn't. And for me, it looks more like it should be pronounced like "bus-y-ness" if it is spelled like that. :bored:

Oh geez, if I have to be specific, it would have to be my own. I'm from Long Island, and we have our own special general accent. Our vowels tend to be a little elongated. For example, "Coffee" becomes more like "cawfee". And it really drives you insane sometimes.

Sometimes the SAT throws words on there that literally are ridiculous in my opinion. One of my least favorite words has to be interlocutor. Most words you can at least GUESS what it might be. "Interlocutor" makes me think something about location, but no. It means "One who takes part in a conversation or oral discussion." Thank you, English language. :bored:
