Lets pretend for a moment that I hardly ever use the word “paraphernalia.”

But today I used it in an email to my boss. “Paraphenalia.”

But that was underlined. Huh? How can this be? So I Googled it.

ParapheRnalia. There’s an R in there. Paraphernalia. Really?  I don’t think I ever knew that. My grammar and spelling are normally pretty good.

I THINK anyway.

Hmm… no wonder why I did poorly on my SATs.
