    I have one that changed on me in college, but it wasn’t a word I’d come across like, a ton?

    Clerestory is not pronounced cle-rest-ory as I’d always thought, but is instead pronounced clear-story, because it’s typically windows and no full floor - clear story to let in light or air. Art history course corrected it and I felt so stupid the correction stuck.
