#jagerdraught

[leletha-jann]

My brain: "-draught is pronounced -draft. We know this. We've known this for a long time. It's one of those -ghs that comes out as an -f. A draught of ale is like a draft beer. A draft is a thing you can drink. A drawt is not a thing. -draught is said -draft. NOT DRAWT. We have heard people pronounce Jägerdraught correctly. We can do it too. We've got this."

My mouth, with great confidence: "Yay-ger-drawt."

My brain: "GODDAMMIT, EVERY TIME."
