[Julia Kerrigan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sometimes we ask ourselves…what’s a three syllable word that starts with /ʃ/? A two syllable word that ends with /t/? Four syllables with /θ/ in word medial position? I’ve spent so much quality time with this book this past month that I consider it my sacred text.
