Something I heard:
News anchor: Can we hear an exert from your book?
Author: *continues as though nothing happened*
What I wish I heard:
News anchor: Can we hear an exert from your book?
Author, after anchor *mysteriously* starts bleeding: Oh my God! Here, let me EXERT pressure on this wound, while I read you an EXCERPT from my book.
If the second scenario happened, I think that the anchor wouldn't be so quick to confuse those words again. What do you think?
"I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake." -Robert Louis Stevenson
