I told my mom all about a book I series I read at ten with a character named pho(like phone)be.

It was "catastrophe" for me. It (and I swear I am not making this up) was on a "Space:1999" ViewMaster disc and I thought it was pronounced "CAT-uh-stroff," with the last syllable pronounced like "loaf." I guess I hadn't encountered the word "apostrophe" yet. 😅
