7 months agoMy problem with this is that your example replies on you already knowing the correct answer, so that you know it’s given you the wrong answer and you can go back and try to trick it into giving a different answer. If you’re asking it a question to which you don’t already know the answer, how would you know if this has happened?
So I ran into this word in two different ways without realizing they were the same word. I saw it written down in various World of Darkness books (where I pronounced it phonetically), and I heard it spoken in the Laundry Files audiobooks (where they pronounce it “gesh”). It took me ages to figure out they were the same word.
