Imbroglio is too improglio…isn’t it 🙂
Thanks for teaching me two words today….dropping by from a-to-z challenge.
Gosh, I hope my kinders that I taught so long ago don’t recall that I pronounced isthmus constantly wrong (th sound always thrown in there – ugh). Love the visuals that go along with both vocabulary words!
Teaching and delighting 😀
