Shoot, I'm hearing and it's hard for me to pronounce it!
 
That is where sounding it out comes in handy for hearing people, but even then, and with pronunciation keys we still are dumbfounded by some words. What is really embarrassing is when you think you have a word figured out and then use it and some one says you pronounced it wrong. And even words that we hear sometimes trying to pronounce it, (you’d think just hearing it would instantly mean you can), you still can’t.
