Oh I love fancy words. It's been my hobby over the last three years to check the dictionaries on every single strange word I meet. Strangely enough, I can't seem to pinpoint any specific word right now. I like pronouncing English words with Russian accent... Pronunciation! I always found it weird that it's the correct form, not pronounciation or pronounication. It has nothing to do with nuns as far as I know.

Oh, and colonel? Why the hell it's pronounced like kernel?

I also like words the plural form of which ends with a vowel, like criterion/criteria, datum/data, stimulus/stimuli, formula/formulae, sentence/sentenci, modicum/modica, phantasmagoria/phantasmagoriae. I just made up the last three pairs.
