I used to laugh at the word, ‘discombobulate’, even the past tense version, ‘discombobulated’. It sounded so weird, so I eventually looked up the word so I’d understand how to use it.
Before we get into the pronunciation and meaning of that word, let’s get into a word AI usually gets wrong, which is one of the main reasons I strongly suggest you learn English from a living human. You should learn from a native of the language you want to learn.
Why?
Just for one of the reasons listed here. If your conversations are going to be only with computers – Artificial Intelligence, sure, go ahead and learn from AI. If you want to honestly communicate with a native of the language you want to learn and communicate with, learn from a native.
I’ll give you a video on this later…
