Did you ever notice that there's words you'll quite frequently see in print but almost never hear spoken? Yes, it's normal, I know! This is just my way asking you guys what your MOST and LEAST favorite written-only words are!!

Please list your picks in the comment section!!

Cordially,

    I see the word dappled in print only. I don't know if I've ever heard it spoken (apart from by myself - for obvious reasons).

      I was helping my neighbors paint a mural on their wall and one of them said, "oooh, I like the way the paint is dappled on the wall. We should leave it dappled...dapple...dapple..."
