Recently New York times reporters decided to test how people went about this “new” six and half syllable word which could fetch one 47 points on a scrabble game, much to their expectation many could not spell/ pronounce it correctly .

Also they noted that people had funny codes like I, a fiat like, la Joe, cuckle & Hey, ya fergot La Yogurt. In order to pronounce it properly
