You know what one of my least favorite words is? FACADE.<\/p>\n

First of all, I work week in and week out to try to teach that an A, O, U, or most consonants make the C say “kuh.” That would make this word fuh-kade, right? (Or even fay-kade.) Unfortunately, that is wrong.<\/p>\n

It is pronounced fuh-sodd. (That A really doesn’t make the C say “kuh.”)<\/p>\n

That clearly makes this word a FAKE, which is one of its only redeeming qualities–it means what it looks like! Smile…<\/p>\n

That bring us to the second aspect of the word–its meaning. It is a noun that means “a face of a building or a superficial appearance.”<\/p>\n

In that regard, it is as it is pronounced–even though it isn’t pronounced like it is spelled (which is true of many words that came from somewhere else).<\/p>\n

So it is easy to learn the meaning of—it has to do with what it sounds like–FACE (albeit, a fake face). But it is not spelled as one would think.<\/p>\n

So, don’t put on a facade today! Don’t try to put on a superficial front or fake face. Be yourself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
