I've noticed philosophy professors are especially guilty of this. I've heard qua and cogito pronounced more ways than I'd initially thought possible.

I've been reading long enough that if I actually come across a word I don't know, then it's likely that:

>the author is just using it to show off what an erudite scholar he is and I will never see the word again
>I would look autistic as fuck if I actually used it in a real conversation

So, not only do I not bother looking up the phonetics, I go so far as to derive the meaning from the context and then forget about it.

Wouldn't a truly true patrician neglect neither one of these over the other?
