I know many words, that I've picked up from books, that I will never use in an actual conversation because I don't know how they're pronounced, and I don't want to embarass myself. However, I will use them in typed communication, like here.

Okay, okay, I know what you mean. Like the word, "dour." You'd think it would rhyme with sour, but it actually sounds like "do-er"
