An elder who was from the deep South read the scriptures talking about how a nation, I believe, would be "sucking the teats". he kept saying it would "be suckin' the tits". He was the Watchtower reader and I recall it was in the late 70s that this article was being studied. I was howling so much I had to go outside to try to compose myself. (It was bad because the phrase was repeated what seemed like forever!).
Are There Any Words That You Have A Hard Time Pronouncing or Spelling?

Hospitalization. I get tongue tied and add a couple extra syllables.
"I believe, would be "sucking the teats". he kept saying it would "be suckin' the tits". "
Hey minimus, what scripture is that. I don't remember any references to "teats" at the KH.

Curriculum...... never fails I always add an extra 'l'...... I can't figure out how to stop myself either!
I have written/typed out the word repeatedly but a week passes and I am screwing it up again!

I had a very hard time correctly pronouncing the following phrase even though I was reading it aloud:
The silent sea ceaseth and thus sufficeth us.
Don't know why that was so difficult!
It kept coming out: "The silent sea Thee-sus (instead of See-Suth) and thus Suf-fye-thus (instead of Suf-ice-uth) us."
