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.
