Today I learned the word #ableism - am I the only one who first read ableist as /ab'laist/ (instead of /'ejblist/) and inferred connection with the German word Leistung instead of disabled people? I am therefore a huge proponent of using #ablism instead. In hindsight, it could have been even /e'bleist/, like along, aside and awry (no, the latter does not come from awe/awre but from wry, an equal surprise to me). #pronunciation #etymology
