Consideration

Consideration

I have been mispronouncing the word "Macadamia" most of my life.

I've been adding a syllable. Don't know why.

I have been saying it macamadamia. "mack-uh-muh-day-mi-uh."

I have known I've been saying it incorrectly for a while.

I have tried to say it correctly. "Mack-uh-day-mi-uh." But it feels wrong, like trying to write with my left hand.

I hereby give notice that I will give up that ghost.

I ask, humbly, that you take this into consideration, in your further dealings with me, especially as it concerns the many, many conversations I find myself drawn into, concerning macamadamia nuts.
