Sooooo...

Apparently, it's PREROGATIVE, not perogative like I thought.

Huh.

Yup.
People get confused between that and the spelling of pejorative, it seems.

I wudda thought it was more because no-one really gets time to put the 'r' in, so it sounds like perogative?

Really?

Huh.

Wow.

Well, my mind is blown.

You learn something new every day, right? Even if that does mean I've been spelling it wrong for years. Why did NO-ONE correct me? And people complain that modern languages are going to the dogs. *headdesk*

Clearly not. I am a shame to humanity and should shave my head, spears-style. That will definitely teach me, haha.

Good point though :)
