Up Your Pretension
Writing tip 379:
Need your MC to be more pretentious? Here you go.
Also add these fun words (just don't forget to write the words phonetically so your readers can "get it"):
homage = ohm-AHJ
meritage = meri-TAHJ
coif = kwahf
foyer = foy-YAY
Edit: These words are not pretentious on their own; they are perfectly fine. The foregoing pronunciations are. Thanks.
Don't forget to accent that final syllable for greater writing for-TAY.
Onward, Buckeroos, onward.
