Wordplay…

Segue = SEHG-way
Prologue = PROH-lahg

What???  Pfft.  Segue is the exception to the “-gue suffix” rule, I believe, but it is annoying nonetheless.

So I’m a spelling freak.  Here’s a little known fact.  In 4th grade I was in the County Spelling Bee and made it to the last 2 or 3 people.  The word I missed? “Suede”.  I have not misspelled that word since. To my credit, I didn’t even know what the word “suede” was.  I asked for it used in a sentence, and of course, they gave me the “blue suede shoes” reference.  Like THAT helped.  Always annoying to learn a new word at a spelling bee.
