    As others have said context is important. If you can infer its meaning, and it’s not critical to understanding, then just roll with it. If it’s critical, or you can infer, look it up.

    I would highly recommend also looking up its pronunciation. Once you start using it wrong internally, it can leak out and utterly confuse people. Though that might just be a “me” problem. 🤷‍♂️

      Nah, I think we all do that. I remember my gf back in the day laughing her ass off because I was trying to say misshapen.

      “You know, miss-happen, like, malformed.”

      🤷🏻‍♂️
