12. As pathetic as it is...
...my own fucking name.

"Jeremy". I never have been able to get the hang of it. I always have to say it slowly and deliberately, which is awkward. Otherwise, people think I say Jamie or Jerry.

"Jermy," as in "germy." Seriously. No one in northern Minnesota should name a child Jeremy.

I think "proselytize" is shortened to "prahs-lih-tyzh" pronunciation wise.

Which clearly contains the word "superfluous" thus making your post, in fact, superfluous. Which was likely your intent, which makes this logical analysis superfluous which makes me seem moronic which is superfluous because I'm a known moron and no seeming can improve or increase my state of moroninity.
