A sigh for Acai . . .

I often get quite irritated when people "correct" me with the incorrect information.  I know what I'm saying is correct, and they try to correct me.

Of course, there are times that I have no idea what is correct, but then I'm not angry.  I'll either just nod or say, "Oh, I didn't know that."  Most of the time when I'm reading a word or saying a word, I'll say, I don't know, that word, that weird thing.

For a long while, I did not know how to say "acai."

However, prior to going to New Orleans, I had learned how to say the word because it was mentioned in something I was watching.

It drove me insane that when I tried to say the word correctly, somebody, who was obviously younger than I, tried to correct me.  The girl kept saying, "The UH-SIGH berry."

I'd say it correctly, "ah-Sigh-ee."

She's said, "The UH-SIGH" berry.

No matter what, she would always push the way she was saying it as the correct way.  One could tell that she was trying to push her way of saying it by the way she stress the word.

I don't even know who it was that did this, but it is just one of those things that really irritated me at the time.

Plus, now you know that the berry, the one spelled "A-C-A-I" is said "ah-Sigh-ee."
