Yes, it may have something to do with pronunciation if you find it hard to memorize a word or understand what they're saying or said on the radio or TV.

A very funny deipnosophist
was working as a columnist.
His name was Aron-Asimoto,
he called himself "The couch potato".
A dry run or a rehearsal,
was used by him as dispersal.
To screw up that was not his way

He loved her on a wobbly gurney,
and felt like on a crazy journey.
Someone had stolen his beretta,

Why was he no

There was a man and his name was John. He was 30 years old at that time of my story.
I am sure, if COUCH POTETO or MOUSE POTETO were professions, John would have had been one of the people with one of that kind of professions. John has lived in a big house. He has left the house very seldom. He wasn't that communicative, what means he wasn't a DEIPNOSOPHIST.
John has loved his big house with air condition inside and a TRANSOM outside.
Sometimes friends has visited him, a

This morning, while going through the news on BBC, I came across an interesting article written by David Robson dealing with "foreign" words used to describe emotional feelings in a research project carried out by Tim Lomas.
The below posted entry is a resume of a long article in a form of passages randomly selected to my whim and fancy.
Lomas’s Positive Lexicography Project aims to capture the many flavours of good feelings (some of which are distinctly bittersweet) found across the world
Well, January is coming to the end and this month we have guessed many interesting and funny words playing Jeopardy. Looking through them makes me laugh as I already "see" a few funny stories and verses I can write. So, I propose you to do the same. Please, write a funny story or a funny poem using some of these words. I will correct the stories, so they must be within 200-250 word limit.
Here is our vocabulary:

Hi, my friends! As the rainy weather spoiled all our plans for today, I will go on teaching you a little.
Well, looking through your answers on the previous grammar tests, I noticed that some of you are not sure whether to use IT IS or THERE IS in this or that sentence. It is really surprising as it is not even the intermediate level, it is basic. Anyway, we use both constructions very often and you should know how to do it correctly.
SO, IT IS is mostly followed by an adjective:

For how many years I had lived a solitary life, but not anymore, I didn’t choose this, still, it happened, I didn’t ask yet it came, and I won’t deny the overjoyed emotions captivated my being. It feels like home.
“Father, my teacher told me you need to visit my school. She wants to talk to you.” Light said that early evening.
