Does a word ever sound “funny” to you? Have you ever second-guessed yourself while speaking?

Whether you’re learning English, or have been speaking since birth, there may be a chance you’re saying some words incorrectly. While some of the mispronounced words in this post have made it as ‘second’ spellings in the dictionary (sherbert), and others are commonly used for informal typing and Internet slang (prolly), I would suggest sticking with the correct pronunciation just to play it safe. :) Remember, how we talk represents….us.

What does the kitty say? What is kitty, you ask? It's the "cute" or child's way to say a kitten (baby cat). So, what does it say? MEOW!

Alright, now that we've covered the basics- let's learn some cat idioms! Do you know what the "cat's pajamas" means? Here's an example: I love my friend, Holly! She is the cat's pajamas! 

Try and guess what it means, and I'll tell you if you're correct! :)
