  3. I've never heard of this word. I've learned something new today. Doubt I'll remember how to pronounce it tomorrow though.

  6. I think I have a healthy fear of failure. No one wants to believe they are "abnormal." Great K word.

  9. That's a great word! I hazard to say that those who suffer it would not be reassured in trying to pronounce it, which would only result in failure.
