"Paradisiacal"

This is so funny, I had to link to it!


Last week, I was teaching the 10th Article of Faith in Primary and realized I didn't quite know the correct way to pronounce the word "paradisiacal."

Naturally, 2 or 3 teachers decided to help me out. Then several more people started shouting out different pronunciations of the word. Finally I just mumbled my way through that part with a generally acceptable version of the word in question.

So as I'm sitting here singing the song so I won't make a fool out of myself in front of a bunch of kids and their teachers at church tomorrow, I found myself facing that dang word again. I decided to Google "pronounce paradisiacal."


Perfect! Thanks, Organic Baby Farm lady in Tooele!

(By the way, if you know how to pronounce Tooele, I pronounce you "Mormon enough.")

You forgot on "e". Tooele. I asked Kevin the first time we drove to SL to pronounce it, then laughed when he couldn't.
