Quote from Ted in Legendaddy
Ted: Okay. Now I feel bad about making fun of him for the tool thing. My dad was the one who taught me all that stuff. Robin: Well, to be fair, everyone has some glaring gap in knowledge. Something really obvious you somehow never learned. Ted: Okay. But a screwdriver? Come on. I don't have any gaps that fundamental. Robin: Really? I seem to recall... [flashback to Ted's classroom:] Ted: Daniel Burnham was an architect whose ever-shifting style and aesthetic... made him a true architectural "chama-lee-on." And only the most gifted "chama-lee-on"... could've designed classic beaux-arts masterpieces... right alongside sleek, modern flatirons. His name might as well have been Daniel Chama-lee-on. Betty: Um, Professor? Uh, do you mean "chameleon"? Ted: Betty, I'm pretty sure it's pronounced "chama-lee-on," so... [all the students shake their heads] Class dismissed. No homework for a while. [present:] Ted: Okay. I learned that word by reading it. That's how I've always pronounced it. Robin: Ted, that wasn't easy. It took a lot of "char-acter" to admit that.
