I love the word 'envelope'. Do YOU pronounce it with an 'on' or an 'en'?

Another question: do you subscribe to A Word A Day, Tegan? You totally should! I love it. I love the weekly theme vibe, and I like the quote you get as a bonus every day.

Also, once a week, they do a weekly wrap-up where everyone writes in with cool stories about the words from that week.

Finally, I adore you, and I'm so glad we've met. I am heading overseas now, but one day we'll meet in real life properly. Thanks for introducing yourself so lovely-ly. xx
