Pronunciation

My whole life I've prided myself on my great spelling and mostly-proper grammar. I've been called out a few times here and there but for the most part I'm correct.

Ever heard of the word 'fandangle'? It means to use trickery to get what you want. In the sense of, "I had to fandangle my way through that speeding ticket." I found out today it's actually 'finagle'. Not only was I spelling it incorrectly, I was saying it completely wrong too! How embarassing! I just knocked myself down a notch.
